Talk Details
Do you find yourself saying “yes” to everything—even when you know you shouldn’t?
Are your weekends filled with work events?
Do your hours regularly stretch far beyond what you’re paid for?
Do your friends and family only see you when they’re roped into volunteering?
Welcome to the wonderfully chaotic world of community fundraising! As fundraisers, we often feel compelled to say yes to every opportunity, but is that really sustainable?
This session will offer practical tips on how to set boundaries, manage expectations, and prioritise your workload so you can protect your time, avoid burnout, and still deliver an exceptional supporter experience (without giving up every weekend!).
Key learnigs from this session:
- Know how to value ‘you’ as a resource
- Meaningful stewardship doesn’t always have to be in person
- How to say no… nicely
