Still time to join us this week! Love to see you there!

Be honest. How long has "more self-care" been on your to-do list or New Year goals list? Can we all agree to make 2024 the year we actually prioritize our personal care so we can better care for others? 💯

Join us on January 17 with the fabulous Ellen Schuster-Nastir from Innovative Team Solutions for Self-Care Strategies to Replenish, Recharge & Reboot. During this interactive workshop for nonprofit professionals, you'll receive the time, reflection and skills necessary to adopt new habits and rituals to increase your overall well-being this year and beyond.

So excited to be part of the training team for the Nonprofit Leadership Center's Certificate in Leadership class. This is our largest group yet and they are impressive as ever! Can't wait to get started and meet them personally. Congratulations to each of you.

How does this resonate for you and your business? I'd add one additional idea.

Providing team coaching focused on various areas of professional/personal development has shown to be an incredibly powerful experience this past year. I'm privileged to have worked with teams and individuals, witnessing them come together as never before, being vulnerable and supportive of each other. Great insights while deepening morale and bringing co-workers closer together. We all need more of that!

Don’t expect the pace of change to slow down.

Here's to making a difference in all you do and those you connect with, each and every day -- for others AND yourself!

Thank you Nicole Stokes - Northwestern Mutual for being our wonderful Shero last night for Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Central and NE Florida Chapter Night of Hope. Sharing your story was a glimpse into your past journey with one of these diseases and we all wish you great health in your wonderful years ahead! You have many people on your team researching for new drugs to help ease the pain of those with these 2 illnesses until a Cure is found!

I'm very proud to be a sponsor and help shine the light! Big cheers to Laura, Layne, Summer, Cal, Walter, Natalie and all those who helped make this first virtual event such a success! 💙

Long Post Warning!
I’m hearing more and more feelings of overwhelm and frustration mounting, in great proportions, to what many of you have on your plate. Whether it’s being pulled in more directions than an octopus has tentacles, concerns about children and school, balancing working from home with or without children nearby, re-entry to the workplace environment—the list is never-ending.
And, now, the reality of not traveling to be with our families, or being alone, feels like a double whammy with Thanksgiving and the holiday season coming soon.
When we first began quarantining back in March- May, I offered many office teams a complimentary Zoom session on a variety of topics to help ease the transition and concerns. I’m pulled to offer something similar now, publicly. (Even posting this is beyond my comfort zone!)
My work keeps me well-tuned to the stresses of work/life being faced. You don’t need to do this alone, nor keep your hand on a hot stove until it burns.
Let’s create community, together, in a learning environment and supportive call. A safe, confidential place to share thoughts, ideas, concerns with others who are like-minded -- wanting more peace and contentment amid the frenzy. Complimentary.
Create YOUR plan aimed to help increase YOUR Self-Care and Resiliency together, with others. I’m here to serve. I want to offer what I can, to help, inform, share strategies and tools, and more.
Please PM me or email me at ellen@innovativeteamsolutions. Let me know if you’d like to learn more. I’m open to listening to the needs and desires of those who show up! 😊
Is it worth 1 or 2 hours to invest in yourself? We’ll figure out the day and time, depending on the schedules of those participating. Here's to a peaceful time as we look towards a different holiday season. Different doesn't have to mean disappointing or stressFULL. Different can be a good kind of different!
