People First, Mission Forward: Inclusive Leadership in Nonprofit Work

with Denise Miño, Denise Miño Consulting & Coaching and Esmerelda Triplett, Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason, and Lewis Counties

Burnout isn’t a badge of honor, it’s a signal that something needs to change.

Nonprofit professionals are known for giving their all—often at the expense of their own well-being. In an environment defined by urgency, limited resources, and deep commitment to community, burnout is not a personal failure; it’s a systemic issue.

‘From Burnout to Balance’ helps nonprofit leaders and staff recognize the patterns that drive exhaustion and disengagement, while learning evidence-informed strategies to build a culture that sustains people, not just programs. Through reflection, dialogue, and practical application, participants will identify both personal and organizational habits that contribute to burnout and discover ways to restore balance, boundaries, and collective well-being.

This workshop invites attendees to stay rooted together by transforming the way their organizations care for the people who make mission-driven work possible.
