Time for our regular break to discuss how to make nonprofit work joyful and fun! We are hearing a lot about nonprofit leaders needing a break after a long winter. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah share a few ideas for how to find moments of fun and joy in the very serious work of our nonprofits. Imagine that office bell ringing when something good happens– how might that invite people to celebrate together? What would you want to read if you sent yourself a letter than you received a week later? Take a listen to these ideas, and then send us yours! We would love to hear them.
Question to reflect on before you listen:
What do you do to find joy in your work now? How do you make tasks fun?
- What resonated with you about this conversation? What would you like to take back to your organization?
- Joy is a practice that results in psychological and biological shifts in your body, making you more resilient to challenges. What are some joyful habits that help you?
Word of the week: Joy
What does joy mean to you?
