Many women leading in nonprofits try to suppress their emotions when they approach a conflict situation. As you'll learn in this episode, that rarely works long-term.

Instead, HR Consultant Sarah Albo will teach how important and effective it can be to identify and acknowledge your emotions. When you do that, you'll get to a place where you can use your managed emotions to brainstorm and problem solve, coming to a resolution much more quickly.

LOVE IN YOUR NONPROFIT

Have you lost your passion for your work? 

Do you wish you could feel engaged, create an engaged team and enjoy the work you do?
All of that comes from allowing your heart to be involved in your work.
Too often, we’ve been told to stop being so emotional. To no be so caring. We’ve been told we’ll burn ourselves out. But we are burning ourselves out by not caring, not feeling and numbing out.

In this episode, Elizabeth and I engage in a dialogue about bringing your heart back into your work! 
You’ll learn strategies, mindsets and most importantly, you’ll gain the permission to once again feel the love in the workplace!
