How do you ensure you get what you need when you’re called to work in the nonprofit sector? Working for a nonprofit differs in many ways from the corporate world, but there’s no reason your passion and your dream career trajectory can’t go hand in hand. In this episode, I share my conversation with Jenny Mitchell, the chief visionary officer of Chavender, an organization that coaches mid-level to senior executives—particularly women who work in nonprofits—to help them build leadership skills.

Find out what women need to know to navigate the nonprofit sector with ease:

The differences between the nonprofit and corporate worlds;
Why the likeability factor can be even trickier to navigate for women leaders in this area;
How to balance the martyr mindset to set a good example and prevent burnout as a manager;
Why celebrating achievements is a vital step in staying focused and hopeful in the nonprofit realm.
