Hey there, nonprofit leaders, and welcome back to Nonprofit CEO SPARK, the podcast that helps you fuel your leadership, protect your energy, and spark lasting change.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing behind-the-scenes lessons from a unique opportunity I had in 2024, stepping in as the Interim Executive Director of a thriving arts nonprofit in Denver.
This wasn’t my first rodeo, but it was my first time back in the ED seat since 2017, and wow, the experience gave me powerful tools and fresh perspective for anyone navigating nonprofit leadership transitions, burnout, or rebuilding staff morale.
Whether you're stepping into a new CEO or ED role, navigating a board relationship, or just trying to stop spinning out, you’re going to walk away from today with actionable tools and mindset shifts that will support you now and for the long haul.
Marcia Beckner helps nonprofit executives lead with confidence and create healthy, thriving workplace cultures, especially during times of growth and change.
After nearly 20 years in the nonprofit sector, she’s seen far too many talented, hard-working leaders burn out and walk away.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Nonprofit CEO SPARK is your invitation to pause, pivot, and reignite your energy so you can lead with clarity, courage, and balance.
