Okay…so the last few months have been completely crazy for everyone. Schedules have been thrown out, kids are home, activities are limited, and the list goes on and on.In addition to all the things going on in the world and the community, I engaged in an intensive coaching curriculum through Raleigh Coaching Academy. The class included reading ten books and spending nine full days on Zoom. It was wonderful and it was a lot.
Remember the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child”? Its origins are traced back to African cultures and possibly even the Bible according to some researchers. My interpretation is that we all have an impact on the children we come in contact with, in our communities, across our state, country, and around the world.
Recently I’ve had multiple conversations (some that included tears) with people who are feeling burnt-out, exhausted, and pulled in lots of different directions. This has long been the case with nonprofit employees, who are generally expected to do more with less – less staff, less technology, less benefits, etc. However, the events of 2020 have introduced challenges many of us could never have anticipated.
If you know that our younger son is a collegiate runner, then you probably have heard me say. “Runners run.”Runners run when it is hot, cold, raining, tropical storming, sleeting, or snowing. They run when you are on vacation, Thanksgiving Day, their birthdays. They run.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
