Summary
"I didn't realize running a nonprofit was this much work." Honestly, many people don't realize it because they were never shown what actually goes into operating an organization beyond the mission and the programs. I've seen passionate leaders enter this work with good intentions, only to become overwhelmed by everything happening behind the scenes. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or surprised by the weight of leadership, this conversation will help you understand why, and what needs to change moving forward.
