Learn to set boundaries, communicate under pressure, and prevent burnout with Brittany Clausen. Interactive session with EQ practice.
Join Brittany Clausen, Founder & CEO of Envision Greatness for Mind Your Business: Self-Care and Burnout Prevention.
Workshop Description:
Effective leadership starts with self-leadership. Before guiding others, leaders must develop self-awareness, set healthy boundaries, and communicate effectively—especially in today’s high-stress, rapidly changing environment.
In the nonprofit sector, where funding is often tied to grants, shifting priorities, and political changes, leaders must navigate uncertainty while maintaining stability for themselves and their teams.
This interactive session explores the complexities of balancing organizational demands with personal well-being in a sector where financial fluctuations and policy shifts can alter the course of work overnight. Participants will learn strategies to set clear boundaries, say “no” effectively, and ask clarifying questions to drive productive conversations without misinterpretation.
Through guided discussions and an emotional intelligence (EQ) improv scenario, attendees will practice direct yet strategic communication techniques to navigate workplace dynamics, reduce defensiveness, and foster open dialogue. The session will also address burnout’s impact on leadership and equip participants with self-regulation
tools to lead with resilience.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify key strategies for setting and maintaining boundaries to prevent burnout.
2. Develop effective ways to say “no” and ask clarifying questions to align expectations.
3. Practice direct communication techniques that minimize defensiveness and encourage open dialogue.
4. Apply emotional intelligence skills to navigate leadership challenges with confidence and clarity.
