In this week's episode of the Impact Table Podcast, host Marssie Versola is in conversation with Baily Hancock Professional Friend-Maker and Connection Strategist.  A natural-born connector and extracurricular enthusiast, Baily has spent her life curating community and nurturing her network, priding herself on being only a degree or two of separation from just about anyone (including Kevin Bacon). Throughout the past decade, she's taught hundreds of entrepreneurs and social impact leaders how to connect and collaborate with others to amplify their message, attract their ideal clients, and increase their impact in the world.
 
Connection and community are not a nice to have.  They are a non-negotiable.

The statistics on burnout in the social impact sector are staggering.  According to a recent study published by the Center for Effective Philanthropy, most funders and 95% of leaders in nonprofit organizations express some level of concern about burnout, with 87% of nonprofit leaders expressing concerns about their own burnout and 75% indicating that burnout among their staff is impacting their organization’s ability to achieve their mission.  

And we know that women in social impact, already affected by the gender pay gap, are often further burdened by the lack of of nonprofit organizations or purpose-driven departments to offer equal or competitive pay or benefits, a lack of leadership and professional development, under-resourced teams and organizations, regularly reported feelings of isolation and overwhelm, high emotional investment and demands in this work (especially in roles in direct service), and largely recognized inequalities in the home, with women taking on most household and caregiving responsibilities.

But, despite these very real challenges, what if we could let it be easy?  

Listen in.

We're nearly. halfway through the year, and in this week's episode we're taking the time to pause for a mid-year checkpoint.  

In this episode, we invite you to take some time, as we get to the halfway mark of 2024 to reflect on the goals, intentions, or vision you set at the beginning of the quarter or the year, and also to notice what you have to celebrate, to review the challenges you've faced, to check in on how you are taking care of your mind and your spirit, and how you are treating your body.  

After you take a listen, you can take some time to reflect on these 5 prompts:

1. First, review any goals, intentions, or vision you set for yourself at the start of the quarter or the start of the year.
2. What Can I Celebrate? 
3. What Challenges Did I Face and How Did I Overcome Them? 
4. How Am I Taking Care of Personal Energy: My Mind and My Spirit? 
5. How Am I Taking Care of My Body? 

Tune in to reflect, recalibrate, and reenergize as we move into the second half of the year.

You are not here to get things done. You are not here to hustle.  You are not here to burn out.  You are here to flourish.  And as a byproduct of your flourishing, everything around you will flourish.

According to a recent study published by the Center for Effective Philanthropy, most funders and 95% of leaders in nonprofit organizations express some level of concern about burnout, with 87% of nonprofit leaders expressing concerns about their own burnout and 75% indicating that burnout among their staff is impacting their organization’s ability to achieve its mission.

This week we’re sharing another playback of a recent Impact Table Visionary Speaker Session with Nataly Kogan, Founder and CEO of Happier, Inc. and the Founder of the Awesome Human Project, who shares about her own burnout story, what she's learned, and the beliefs and practices that we all need to live happier, more flourishing lives.

In Day 3 of our Lead for Impact Workshop we're adding a critical component to your roadmap to unlocking greater leadership and impact.

Today, our work is focused on creating a compelling vision for where you're going.  Without this critical component, you risk being stuck, operating out of unconscious patterns, walking (or running) in circles, or worse, moving toward a vision that isn't even yours.

And we share our secret to how you can accelerate your path to the leadership and impact you're envisioning, now.

Listen in as we deliver powerful personal and leadership growth beyond the typical business setting with a powerful visualization exercise to move you into a compelling vision of your future self. 

If you're ready to take your seat at the Table, join us at www.impacttable.com/join.

In Day 2 of our Lead for Impact Workshop, we invite you to reflect on the unconscious patterns that are getting in your way.  And we encouraged you to explore the actions you can practice to move past those patterns and try a new way of operating. 

This is where the fun starts. Now you're starting to lean into your superpower and unroot the patterns that you've carried with you up until now. This isn't an overnight transformation.  But with commitment, accountability, and continued learning and growth, you're paving the path to greater leadership and impact moment by moment.  

Listen back to Day 1 of our Lead for Impact Workshop.  What you'll hear:

❤️ You'll get a taste of what it's like inside the Impact Table. 
⭐ You'll be invited to step into the brightest, most confident, most supported, most thriving version of yourself so that you can lead from that place.
✅ You'll hear exclusive tips from our Established and Executive Level Impact Table members on what Emerging Leaders need to know.
And more...

While we've designed this workshop with our Emerging Leaders in mind, you'll find value wherever you are in your leadership journey.

In part four of our mini-series, we discuss the importance of surrounding yourself by others who lift you up, throughout your leadership journey.

Navigating a career in social impact can be rewarding and fulfilling. It can also be challenging, lonely, confusing, and emotionally taxing.  It is normal to feel lost, isolated, or unclear about where to start or where to go next when it comes to growing as a leader, building your confidence, magnifying your influence, and maximizing your impact - while discovering and staying true to what’s really important to you.

Seeking and allowing that space of belonging in a community that elevates you is a critical part of stepping into greater leadership and maintaining the endurance, mindset, and energy to keep moving forward as a leader in social impact.

In this episode, we delve into the third component of our framework: Creating a Vision of and for Your Future Self.

In this episode, we help you move towards clarity about where you are going and why you are going there.  And, we go one step further, to move towards clarity on how stepping into greater leadership will feel.

In order to step into greater leadership we must understand where we are going.  

In order to commit to where we are going, we must believe deeply in the “why” of where we are going.

And in order to practically move forward consistently we must be able to embody what it will feel like to step into greater leadership.

This week we are getting into part two of our four-part mini-series for stepping into greater leadership. 

Throughout this series, we're unveiling a transformative 4-part framework designed to empower you at every stage of your leadership journey.  Whether you're just embarking on your path as a leader in social impact or a seasoned veteran seeking to amplify your impact, this series is tailor-made for you.

In this episode, we delve into the second part of our framework: "Uncovering The Unconscious Patterns That Are Getting in Your Way. "  Through digging deep, we uncover and understand the underlying patterns, behaviors, blindspots, and beliefs that are getting in your way and holding you back with or without you knowing it. 

These patterns can be deeply ingrained in our subconscious, influencing our actions and decisions without us even realizing it.

It’s not about being in judgment or being critical of yourself, but instead taking a real look at what patterns are getting in your way, so that you can understand them and address them.

These questions require deep, honest self-reflection and introspection.  If you're not willing to get curious and really honest, you can skip this episode!  

You can only grow as a leader the amount that you are willing to grow personally.

Are you an emerging leader looking to step into greater leadership, or an established leader to reset your energy and propel yourself forward? Register for our FREE 3-Day Lead for Impact Workshop from June 10-12th.
