Claim Your Power: Strong Values, Stronger Boundaries

Join Midlife Career Whisperer™ Dawn LaRae for an engaging, impactful session focused on centering values, setting boundaries, and combatting burnout in a mission-driven workplace. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the systemic and cultural forces unique to nonprofit leadership that can erode personal values alignment and make boundary-setting feel impossible or disloyal to the mission.
2. Distinguish between values-led and fear-based decision-making — and recognize which engine has been driving their most costly professional choices.
3. Articulate their top 2-3 personal core values through a guided discovery process that separates authentic values from organizational expectations and inherited “shoulds.”
4. Connect personal sustainability to organizational effectiveness — understanding that protecting your own well-being is not a retreat from leadership, but a fundamental responsibility of it.
5. Apply a values-based framework to real boundary challenges you are currently facing, including practical language for navigating board relationships, funder dynamics, staff demands, and scope creep.
6. Commit to one specific, values-rooted action you will take in the week following the session to begin reclaiming your power as a leader.
