Purpose and Balance: Mastering Effectiveness without Burnout

Effective time management is essential to achieving the meaningful work of nonprofits. However, nonprofit professionals are constantly balancing competing priorities, which can lead to burnout if not managed well. When we align our work with our purpose and organizational mission and vision, nonprofit staff can truly optimize how we use our time.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn practical strategies to manage their time effectively, reduce stress, and accomplish what matters most. This session will provide you with actionable tools to prioritize, delegate, and create better focus in your work. You’ll leave equipped with strategies to achieve work outcomes, while also making space for balance and peace of mind—ensuring you can continue to make a meaningful impact without sacrificing your well-being.

The workshop will specifically address the following topics:

• How to identify and focus on high-priority tasks while letting go of less critical ones;
• Effective delegation techniques to build capacity and ease your workload;
• Time-blocking and prioritization strategies to create structure and stay productive; and
• Techniques for managing mindset to decrease feelings of stress, perfectionism, and overwhelm.

The workshop will be in person on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Greater New Orleans Foundation’s Center for Philanthropy (919 St. Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130). It is free, but registration is required. Click here to register. Seating is limited.
