Leadership Without Burnout: Resetting Norms for 2026

For nonprofit leaders especially, the weight of caring for staff, communities, and missions amid ongoing uncertainty can make sustainable leadership feel out of reach.

This live, interactive webinar offers a counter-practice.

Instead of pushing harder, we’ll explore how to lead with sustainability, presence, and consistency in 2026. Together, we’ll examine how burnout manifests at the leadership level—not as a personal failure, but as a signal that our norms, pacing, and expectations need to be adjusted.

Through guided reflection, practical frameworks, and shared learning, participants will gain tools to protect their energy, clarify boundaries, and lead in ways that are both effective and humane.

What we’ll explore

• How to reframe leadership around sustainability rather than urgency
• Ways to identify energy drains and supportive practices
• Pacing and boundary-setting strategies that prevent burnout
• How small, intentional resets can create lasting change

Why attend live

This session is designed as a participatory experience. Live attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Create a personalized 2026 Leadership Reset Plan
• Participate in real-time reflection and coaching from the HEU team (and collective wisdom sharing from other live participants!)
• Leave with 1–2 concrete boundaries or pacing shifts tailored to their leadership role

While a recording will be available, attending live offers space for reflection, connection, and personalized insight that can’t be replicated on your own.

Who this is for

Nonprofit leaders, managers, and practitioners who want to lead with integrity, clarity, and care in 2026—without sacrificing their well-being in the process.

Come as you are. Leave with renewed perspective, practical tools, and a leadership approach grounded in sustainability, not burnout.
