Breaking the Stigma: Mental Wellness in the Fundraising Profession with Ian Adair

When Ian Adair shares his personal experience with mental illness, he realizes the importance of bringing attention to this issue and how it affects individuals across the world. He takes a stand against the stigma of mental illness and encourages organizations to support their people. From an early age, Ian has faced mental health challenges in his family, which shaped his passion for advocating mental health awareness. As he grew older, he discovered the power of sharing his story and connecting with others who faced similar struggles. Through his professional life, Ian realized the importance of mental health and wellness in the workplace, particularly for fundraisers who are under immense pressure during these uncertain times. The impact of the pandemic on people's mental health became an opportunity for Ian to push for organizations to take better care of their employees and provide the necessary support. By fostering a culture of empathy and understanding, Ian's mission is to ensure that no one has to suffer in silence, fearing the loss of their loved ones, friends, or jobs.If you're searching for effective ways to improve #mentalhealth and #wellness in your organization, listen in as Ian shares the truth about how #fundraisers and #nonprofit leaders can prioritize mental health to create meaningful change.#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #nonprofit #FundraisingSuccess #MoreThanEnoughRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEStart with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon SinekFind Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team by Simon Sinek7 Lenses: Learning the Principles and Practices of Ethical Leadership by Linda Fisher ThorntonAssociation of Fundraising ProfessionalsAFP LEADCONNECT WITH OUR GUEST ONLINETwitter / Instagram / Linkedin / Website / EmailTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORThank you to our friends at Bloomerang for being a sponsor of The Intentional Fundraiser podcast.Bloomerang gathers the best tools, resources, and people in a single place and, through its donor management platform, empowers nonprofit organizations like yours to carry out their missions.Learn how First Tee of Greater Akron doubled its unique donors, improved donor stewardship, and raised more funds in the first year with Bloomerang.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love Tammy and The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast” 👈 If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show! This will enable me to reach more fundraisers — just like you — and help them become better fundraisers, faster. Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and tap “Write a Review.” Then, let me know what you liked most about this particular episode or how you find my podcast helpful, valuable, insightful or inspiring in some way. SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST Also, if you haven’t done so already, subscribe to this podcast.
