Fundraising is tough. It’s emotionally demanding, fast-paced, and often unpredictable. To keep going, you need more than passion—you need resilience, stress management, and strong boundaries to protect your wellbeing.
Join us for this interactive, practical workshop.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to build resilience and stay steady under pressure
✅ The signs of stress and quick strategies to manage it
✅ How to set and maintain boundaries to prevent burnout
This session isn’t just theory - we’ll share real-life tools, group discussions, and practical exercises to help you navigate the challenges of your role with confidence.
