Why Does Burnout Feel Inevitable?

A space to share experiences and explore alternatives.

For so many reasons, the pressures of our work in the social impact sector can feel relentless. Whether you’re fundraising, working in comms, or delivering services on the front lines, heavy workloads, constant change, and unceasing urgency can all take their toll.

How much do we allow ourselves to become overloaded or burnt out – and how much of it is truly unavoidable? What helps us keep going?

Join us to connect with other people who understand the pressures you’re facing and let’s explore together how we can better navigate overload and burnout in our work.


Open Discussions are highly interactive end-of-day sessions that put you in the driver’s seat! They are lightly facilitated, but don’t expect panel discussions or presentations – your ideas and opinions are what count here.
