Does  your  nonprofit  have  a  presence  on  social  media  at  least  one  social  media  channel?    (2012)  

The  nonprofit  work  ethic  is  outdated!    

•  What  if  nonprofits  took  a  more  people-­‐focused  approach  to  how  they  do  their  work  and  created  a  culture  of  replenishment  and  abundance?      

•  What  if  nonprofit  staff  believed  that  taking  care  of  themselves  would  help  their  organizaMons  achieve  greater  impact?      

•  What  if  nonprofit  leaders  believed  that  the  healthy,  happy  way  of  working  leads  to  beNer  results  and  deliberately  modeled  that  behavior  every  day?
