August Specialty Workshop

Beating Burnout Through Stoicism

Overview

Burnout among mission-driven leaders is not simply the result of working too hard. It is often the result of working in the wrong direction — expending enormous energy trying to manage outcomes, relationships, and systems that are not ours to control.

This specialty workshop draws on Stoic philosophy — and the practitioner expertise of Ken Davenport, CEO of Mission Edge — to give managers a clear, grounded framework for understanding where their energy goes and how to redirect it.

This is not a group therapy session or a peer roundtable. It is an expert-facilitated learning experience grounded in one of the oldest and most practical leadership philosophies in existence — applied directly to the realities of managing people and programs in mission-driven organizations today.

November Specialty Workshop

Grant Funding: Win It Before You Write It

Overview

Most grants are won or lost long before the writing starts — in which funders you pursue, how closely you read what they want, and how your last report set up the next ask.

Two hours inside a working grant portfolio: how funders get chosen, how programs get positioned, and where the cycle quietly breaks. Plus a few places AI can carry real weight.

Get funded. Then get funded again.

December Specialty Workshop

A Practical Guide to Board Governance

Overview

Strong governance keeps missions on track — but knowing your role, your board's role, and where the lines actually fall isn't always obvious. This hands-on workshop is designed for nonprofit professionals and board members who want clarity on governance fundamentals: fiduciary duty, board-staff dynamics, and how to run meetings that actually move the mission forward.

In two hours, you'll work through real governance scenarios and walk away with tools you can bring straight to your next board meeting.

Good governance isn't red tape — it's how your mission stays protected.
