How I Planned for My Nonprofit Sabbatical Leave & Preventing Burnout [Video]

In this video I share a little bit more about my own experience planning a nonprofit sabbatical and share some steps and tips for you to plan your own nonprofit sabbatical leave.FOUNDER TO FULL-TIME: Check out my trainings and blog on starting a nonprofit or social enterprise at http://foundertofulltime.com/ // WHAT TO WATCH NEXT Starting a Nonprofit: Your Basic Compliance Checklist!https://youtu.be/28_vAxobgtoHow to Manage Stress and Avoid Burnout as a Change Makerhttps://youtu.be/AiUJaH8IbjwTime Management Tips from a Nonprofit Executive Directorhttps://youtu.be/-Tu7ywezfnM// CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome!02:20 Symptoms of Burnout03:44 Recap: What is a Nonprofit Sabbatical?05:08 Why a Sabbatical is important10:38 My own Sabbatical reflections13:48 Considerations to plan a Sabbatical// MORE ABOUT ME Hi!
