Leading and managing in human services and non-profit spaces is heart work. Often supporting teams doing life-changing work, leaders take on the roles of manager/mentor, problem solver, solution creator, vision carrier, and fundraiser all while they do their own jobs and "other duties as assigned". Committed to the mission and to making a difference, leaders and managers often struggle to meet the demands of the work while also attending to their own needs and growing their skills.
