Are you feeling burned out?
Nonprofit IT can be exhausting. Learn how to de-stress to better tackle your job and help your nonprofit succeed.
There is so much stress in managing nonprofit IT.
There are conflicting agendas, tight budgets, and unrealistic demands.
A lot of us have been burned by IT projects in the past that still give us nightmares. The tool was expensive, required a huge project to implement, took a ton of time, didn’t work, everyone hated it, the training was terrible, and the vendor or consultants or your boss left you holding the bag.
Some executives really do understand how crucial functioning IT is to your nonprofit – to your work life and to your ability to achieve your mission.
But even if you are lucky enough to have a lot of leadership, IT management is still tough. It touches every staff member and even little issues can make your work unworkable. Don’t get us started on cybersecurity fears.
While you work on the big picture of IT management at your nonprofit, don’t forget to work on managing your own stress and avoiding burnout.
With all the recent research and attention paid to self-care in nonprofit careers we wanted to spend a webinar focused particularly on
de-stress and self-care in nonprofit IT roles.
Join Director of Marketing and recovering IT Director at large and small nonprofits Carolyn Woodard for a webinar exploring the latest research on the benefits of de-stressing and some tips on incorporating self-care in your nonprofit IT management routine.
If your first reaction to the idea of self care is that you are too busy to put it on your to-do list, this is the webinar for you.
But also, if you feel like you have a pretty good handle on your stress levels and the IT you manage is working well, please join us and share your strategies. This webinar will encourage peer learning and we invite you to listen in or jump in with advice as we support each other in this career.
This webinar is appropriate for nonprofit executives, managers, accounting, development, and nonprofit IT personnel – and as with all our webinars, it is appropriate for a varied audience.
Community IT is proudly vendor-agnostic and our webinars cover a range of topics and discussions. Webinars are never a sales pitch, always a way to share our knowledge with our community.
