A good hire is hard enough to find, and a bad one is costly. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates a bad hire costs an organization at least 30% of that employee's first-year earnings, and for a small nonprofit the damage to team dynamics and momentum can be even harder to recover from. This session covers writing job descriptions that actually reflect the role, posting and recruiting in ways that widen your candidate pool, reviewing a resume in no time flat, gauging whether a candidate will fit your culture, and conducting interviews that surface the right information (and stay on the right side of the law). You'll also learn the one interview question that will save you every time.

Nonprofit executive directors often navigate local politics, shifting organizational cultures, and public scrutiny — sometimes simultaneously. This session offers a supportive space for peer conversation and shared learning around leading through change, conflict, and crisis.

This interactive workshop introduces the concept of "Assistant Syndrome" as a framework for examining how people-pleasing, overcommitment, and self-sacrifice can show up in leadership. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their own experiences, identify patterns that may be limiting their growth, explore practices that support greater self-advocacy and alignment, and create a personal action plan.
