Crafting Communities NVPC - Towards a City of Good

Burnout is an all-too-common experience; it gets to the best of us. What causes burnout, how do you recover from it, and how can you support someone experiencing it? Megan from Limitless is back with us to get into the ins and outs of burnout! 

Mental wellness, triggers and trauma, boundaries: What do they mean, and how can you care for the mental wellbeing of your community? Megan from Limitless joins us to share about her own personal encounters with mental health. 

Grace, Justin, and Hansel talk about Goodbye Circles. Inspired by an international institute that specialises in restorative practice, Lutheran Community Care Services started Goodbye Circles for individuals who choose to leave the organisation.

Grace, Shaily and Justin are back to discuss how organisations and individuals can work together to shape a meaningful exit experience for all involved.

What do you do when someone quits? A good exit experience can make the difference between a resentful ex-member or a strong advocate. Yet, exits are often overlooked. Hear from two community leaders on the importance of exit experiences.

Are elections a good way to choose a leader in a ground up community group? How do you create the conditions for a leader to surface? For the final instalment to our conversation on leadership succession - Grace gets the download from Yi Qi (former chairperson and current advisor) and Jeremy (present chairperson) of Volunteer Guitar Connection on how they’ve been able to develop a pipeline of leaders to keep their organisation growing.
