You came into the nonprofit sector because you have a passionate fire in you about an important issue or cause.<\/p>\n

Maybe you want to help level the playing field. Or perhaps you want to right a wrong or bring more beauty into this world of ours. The list goes on.<\/p>\n

This fire ignites you and propels you to work as hard as you possibly can. In fact, it\u2019s an essential ingredient to five-star nonprofit leadership, to successful fundraising, to effectively lobbying an elected official, for making music that moves people to tears \u2014 you know, the work leaders like you are doing every day to make a difference.<\/p>\n

But sometimes working as hard as you possibly can set you on the fast track to burnout.<\/p>\n

Burnout is an absence of fire. That\u2019s what burnout means. Literally.<\/p>\n

In this episode, best-selling author and global keynote speaker Hamza Khan speaks with me all about burnout (check out his viral Tedx Talk here<\/a>). Hamza really understands the key causes of burnout and how to reverse its effects and even stop it in its tracks. And don\u2019t worry \u2014 his recipe for not burning out does not include \u201cget a meditation app.\u201d<\/p>\n

We chat about \u201cgood stress\u201d (yes, there is such a thing), the distinction between an overachiever and a high performer, and the true meaning of the phrase \u201cdeath by work\u201d.<\/p>\n

And he asks you to consider if you would prefer to be a human doing or a human being. I know what I\u2019d prefer!<\/p>\n
