Identity & Rejuvenation for Nonprofit Pros
When passionate about your work, the tendency to be “all-in” is vital. Is “all-in” an excellent place to be, though? In this episode, Katie talks to Joe Dyer, the President of DISHER, about how rejuvenation, balance, and identity can prevent burnout and nonprofit turnover. Listen to learn how you can make a positive difference in your organization and community by recognizing that you’re a human BEING, not just a human doing.
What does DISHER know about nonprofits?
The difference between nonprofit and for-profit businesses primarily comes down to tax status. DISHER is a for-profit organization that is entirely purpose-driven. This focus on a mission over money shows how they partner with nonprofits and community building. Joe Dyer’s current role is as the President of DISHER, but his background is in nonprofit leadership and Christian ministries. Joe references the concept of “steward leadership,” where he focuses on growing the assets entrusted to you and how this applies to for-profit businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Unlocking Identity & Rejuvenation: The Difference Between Being and Doing
Joe clarifies that taking a break or leaving your organization will not automatically equal rejuvenation. Rejuvenation comes when you recognize that you exist apart from what you’re doing (your job) and can find proper rest and change in that space. Consider what your anchor is – what do you hold fast to in times of trouble? You may want to look to something more significant if it’s your professional identity.
