Episode 272: Overcommitting begins one "yes" at a time -- until you have said yes SO many times you run out of hours in the day. This is especially dangerous if you are overcommitting to volunteering. Whenever we volunteer, that is time taken from family, friends, and personal pursuits but it impacts our work too if we burn out. This week, I spoke with Kelsey Casselbury, PCM, CDMP of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) about the lessons she has learned from her own experiences volunteering. She learned quite a lot when she agreed to be the chief volunteer leader of TWO nonprofit organizations during the 2020 lockdown. And yes, both organizations relied on in-person events for revenue. Are you gasping yet? Kelsey also shares her advice from the staff perspective about helping our organization's volunteers have a balanced schedule of volunteering. You don't want to miss this one!
