Episode 4: Aligning Values With Your Work




No Nonsense Nonprofit show

Summary: In a perfect world, all people who work in nonprofits or other mission-based organizations (public agencies, social enterprises, etc...) should naturally find themselves aligned with their values and work. In reality, sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Join Sarai Johnson, host of No Nonsense Nonprofit and founder of Lean Nonprofit as she discusses how to navigate the murky waters when you find yourself out of alignment with your work. Michelle Bixler, Economic Development Manager for the town of Strasburg, Virginia, joins with her story of staying true to herself, finding her way back to herself, and negotiating the challenges of finding herself asked to do things that were outside of her values.
