Preventing Leadership Burnout
Do you live like your hair is on fire? Homeschool leaders are often gifted, high-energy, perfectionist, workaholic visionaries with little understanding for the words “slow down.” It is all too easy for us to overlook the warning signs and slide into loneliness and exhaustion. Where are you on the scale of stress, overload and burnout? We will cover multiplying leadership, dealing with conflict, first aid for burn victims and knowing when to pass the torch.
The Cost of Leadership
The blessings of homeschool leadership are many. As we serve, though, it becomes painfully apparent at times that the mantle of leadership does not come without cost, for ourselves and sometimes for those we care about the most. When approached with the proper spirit, these can also prove to be times of great personal growth. In this workshop we will talk about how to count the cost and make it really count for eternity.
