It is Sunday evening, and that means we’re about to start another work week. Do you have anything exciting you’re looking forward to working on this week?  My work week usually involves connecting with current clients and ensuring all their questions are answered. I coach or prepare to coach clients on strategic planning for organizations, as well as advise clients on succession plans.  What about you? What does your work week look like, and what are you looking forward to the most?  Will you 🤝 partner, collaborate, or work with another foundation or individual? Tag them below to let them know you’re excited to work with them!  #Nonprofits #PhilanthropyAdvisor #Donors

Some organizations esxpecialky non-profit organizations foster toxic workplace cultures due to factors like limited resources, high emotional stress and burnout. Often, hierarchical structures and lack of clear communications exacerbate issues, leading to unresolved conflicts. Additionally, the passion for the cause can lead to unrealistic expectations, creating an environment where support and collaboration suffers. #workplacewellness #healthyworkplace #positiveworkculture #toxicworkplace #cultureofrespect

It's a Feel-Good Friday! ☀️ A fantastic non-profit organisation that I follow just appointed their very first Chief Happiness Officer. Talk about walking the walk! This brilliant move shows they understand the true importance of #employeewellbeing, and it's setting a #positive precedent for workplaces everywhere. But seriously, can you imagine having a job title like "Chief Happiness Officer"? ⭐ We all need a little more #happiness in our lives, don't we? What are your thoughts on this awesome trend? #HRWithSubetra #humanresources

Could your recruitment process be merely a sophisticated duplication exercise? Looking for clones and mini-me's. I get it though. It's nice when we find applicants who think like us, act like us, speak like us and laugh at our jokes. Of course, it can be easy to think they're great as they'll fit in so well to our #charities' culture. But could this mindset be limiting your charity's potential 🔄 When we focus on 'cultural fit', we miss out on: 🌍 Diverse perspectives 💡 Fresh ideas 🧠 New ways of thinking Instead of asking "Will they fit in?" Instead, focus on 'cultural ADD' by considering these questions: 🤔 What skills do we currently lack? 🤔 How will they challenge our thinking? 🤔 What new perspectives will they bring? 🤔 What different experiences can they share? 🤔 How will they enhance our existing team? You may find shifting from 'cultural FIT' to 'cultural ADD' will transform your recruitment process and your charity’s future. Afterall, no #charity culture should be stuck in the past. It should grow, evolve, and improve with each new hire. Seek those who will challenge and push your charity forward, helping you make an even bigger impact. 🙌 #charityjobs #charityrecruitment #charityculture

Are You Taking Your Non-Profit Work Home with You? Women leading non-profits often carry their work beyond the office. Even after hours, many are weighed down by thoughts of the people they serve, the team they support, and what could be done better. This emotional load can make it hard to fully connect with family and friends, creating feelings of guilt and frustration about not being the partner, mother, or friend they want to be. If this resonates, here are three steps to protect your personal time without sacrificing your passion for your work: Set Clear Boundaries: Establish a defined line between work and home life. Try a small ritual—like a walk or closing your laptop in a special way—that signals your shift into personal time, helping you focus fully on the present. Write It Out: At the end of each day, reflect on what went well and your hopes for tomorrow. Draft a to-do list for the next day, so your thoughts are on paper, not weighing on your mind. Find an Accountability Partner: Connect with a trusted colleague or friend who can help you stick to these boundaries. For those of us who care deeply about others, being accountable to someone else can be a powerful motivator! Your dedication is valuable, but your well-being is essential. Try one (or all!) of these strategies to bring balance, clarity, and more presence into both your work and personal life. Have your own strategy that works? Share it in the comments or DM me! Let’s support each other in leading more sustainably. #WomenInNonProfit #LeadershipBalance #WorkLifeBoundaries #Wellness
