How to Avoid Overload when Adding Advocacy Work to Your Plate - Episode 25

How to Avoid Overload when Adding Advocacy Work to Your Plate - Episode 25

You know advocacy is important.  And you’ve got some key strategic relationships you want to develop.  But it’s so much work!  Adding that to an already full plate can feel impossible and overwhelming.  But if we don’t do it, we’re cutting off opportunities.  Are we doomed to choose between overload and lost opportunity?  Thankfully no.  But we have to take on the overload monster and tame it.

In this episode, we share:

  • The five main causes of advocacy overload and how to fix them 
  • The first and most important step to preventing or fixing advocacy overload
  • How to create the necessary space on your plate for successful advocacy work
  • The most important skill you can develop to prevent overload
  • Three things to do if you’re not making progress with a strategic relationship
  • Key advice for folks who are relatively new to building powerfully influential strategic relationships

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, which will help even more people find out about us.

Thanks!
