Equip your team to listen well and lighten the emotional load on leadership
You are the emotional dumping ground. “Everyone brings their pain to me and I'm exhausted”
Staff and volunteers don't know how to listen- so people stop opening up. Conversations feel rushed and awkward.
People leave quietly after being hurt-or don't speak up until it's too late.
Mentoring is informal, inconsistent, or nonexistent. People want guidance but don't know who is safe or available.
Emotional issues are mistaken for immaturity. Hurting people feel misunderstood or judged instead of supported.
Leaders feel responsible for everyone's emotional well-being. They're drained and distracted from vision and strategy.
