This episode guides nonprofit women leaders away from survival mode and into aligned personal growth. You'll discover how to set powerful, values-aligned leadership goals beyond performance reviews that feel achievable, sustainable, and deeply meaningful.

You'll learn:

Why self‑defined goals matter

We all juggle to‑do lists and external expectations. But without goals that reflect your strengths, values, and leadership identity, you’ll stay stuck, stressed, and perpetually firefighting..


Finding your starting point

Decide who you want to become, your “aspirational identity.” That clarity sets direction and motivation.


Breaking big aspirations into tiny, doable steps

Instead of “be a better leader,” think “block two hours on my calendar daily, and communicate that to my team.” This is how transformation happens, one small habit at a time.

Building a tailored pathway

What knowledge, resources, or skills do you need? Whether meditation, emotional intelligence training, journaling, or team check‑ins, create a personalized action plan.

  • Keeping yourself accountable

Identify how you’ll measure progress, tracking calendar blocks, journaling prompts, or post‑meeting reflections. Feedback and quantifiable evidence help you course-correct and celebrate small wins.


Timeline matters

Goals with short bursts (like 90 days) help reduce delay and boost motivation. Remember kaw! Consistency builds confidence.


Boosting motivation through value

Adopt Pierce Steel’s Motivation Equation: Motivation = Expectancy × Value ÷ (Impulsivity × Delay). When you see how important a goal is (connected to your values) and reduce distractions, you’ll stay on track.


Embracing self‑compassion and reality

Yes, this takes work, especially during crisis seasons like wildfires or funding cuts. But by starting small, giving yourself grace, and leaning on community or coaching support, growth becomes achievable.


Putting it all into practice

Kathy Archer and Kimberley Mackenzie share real-life examples—from journaling character strengths to habit-stacking simple moments, like eating an apple during a call—all stacking into meaningful change over time.

Leadership doesn't have to feel like a grind. But too often, nonprofit women leaders are overwhelmed, doubting themselves, and feeling like they're constantly “on.” This episode is an invitation to rethink what strong leadership actually looks like. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing things differently.

Kathy and Kimberley walk us through the six core practices from Character Driven Leadership for Women. These practices help you show up authentically, lead with values, and feel more grounded in your role.


From learning how to journal for reflection (without the “dear diary”) to understanding how tiny acts of wellness can actually rewire your brain, this episode speaks directly to nonprofit women who are tired of just surviving. It’s a powerful reminder that confidence in leadership doesn’t come from a title, it comes from intentional, daily practice.


Whether you're managing a team, running a board meeting, or navigating tricky conversations, these habits can help you feel more in control and aligned with the leader you want to be.


What You’ll Learn

The 6 foundational practices of character-driven leadership

- Why mindset is more than positive thinking. It’s your leadership operating system

- How journaling (even in scrappy moments) can build emotional resilience

- Why we must stop waiting for after-hours to care for ourselves

- How to model and normalize wellness at work for your team

- Why honing small daily habits matters more than any big leadership strategy

​In this episode, Kimberley McKenzie and Kathy Archer introduce the “Infinite Leadership Loop,” which is a reflective cycle of pausing, pondering, pivoting, and proceeding. They explore how embracing that loop transforms overwhelm into flow and helps nonprofit women leaders navigate change with confidence and grace.

Each time your team or role shifts, it’s not failure, it’s forward motion. Nonprofit women leaders often step into roles prematurely or without the skills, leading to burnout, imposter syndrome, and misalignment. Kathy and Kimberley remind us that leadership isn’t a fixed ladder; it’s a dynamic loop of real-time learning, self-awareness, and values-aligned action.

They share personal stories from stepping away from a promotion to managing growth in a fundraising-led organization, revealing how intentional self-reflection prevented character erosion and inner burnout. This loop isn’t just theory; it’s a practical daily practice of noticing body cues, tuning into your values, and slowing down enough to step forward with clarity and conviction.

Key Take-a-ways

  1. Leadership is a journey, not a destination. Bleeps in roles signal growth opportunities, not setbacks.
  2. Infinite Leadership Loop: Pause to sense body/stress cues, Ponder what’s beneath them, Pivot your perspective, then Proceed with aligned action.
  3. Raise your character floor so you don’t pay the price of burnout. Even your worst days build resilience over time.
  4. Post‑Traumatic Growth: let ick and missteps become opportunities to learn, not get stuck.
  5. Leverage strengths and support: know your genius, lean in on others, and let your team shine.

​​In this warm and conversational episode, Kimberley and Kathy dig into how women nonprofit leaders often neglect defining their character, end up burned out, and feel stuck responding to crisis rather than leading with purpose. They show that character isn’t just aspirational values—it’s what others experience from you day to day.

​

Through real stories—like the HR decision to gently notify someone ahead of a layoff—you’ll learn what happens when you pause, trust your intuition, and follow your moral compass. The conversation explores how leading from emotion, integrity, and authenticity isn’t a liability—it brings safety, trust, and a sense of flow to your team. You’ll walk away with practical ideas to define your moral “hills you’ll die on,” build alignment between your ethics and actions, and let your natural strengths shine in leadership, all while protecting yourself from burnout and embracing your identity fully.In this episode, Kimberley McKenzie and Kathy Archer explore how character—your daily behavior and ethics—trumps simply knowing your values. If you’ve ever felt misaligned in leadership, this is the encouragement you’ve been waiting for.

Key Takeaways

  • Character is not just your values—it’s your reputation and daily conduct
  • Defining your “aspirational ceiling” and “behavioral floor” builds trust
  • Use the Leadership Pause to check if your actions align with your values
  • Notice when something feels icky—it’s your body telling you you’re misaligned
  • Embrace emotional intelligence—recognize and name feelings, don’t shut them off
  • Modeling vulnerability invites psychological safety and stronger teamwork
  • Personal and professional growth are one journey—authentic leadership comes from integrating them

This Episode Is for You

If slowing down feels impossible right now, you're not alone. In this powerful conversation, Kathy and Kimberley explore why taking a pause is essential for nonprofit women leaders, and why it's so hard to actually do. You'll walk away with validation, practical tools, and a fresh mindset to help you lead with more calm, clarity, and confidence.

💬 Why This Conversation Matters for Women in Nonprofit Leadership

Do you ever feel like you need to prove your worth by being the first one in and the last one out? Like, if you take a break, people will think you’re lazy or not doing enough? In this candid and heartfelt episode, Kathy and Kimberley dive deep into why women leaders in the nonprofit sector struggle to pause and how that very pause can be the key to sustainable, values-aligned leadership.

They share real-life stories (yes, car naps are totally a thing), offer brain science-backed insights, and break down what it really means to pause with intention. It’s not about doing less, it’s about showing up with more clarity, purpose, and confidence in leadership.

You’ll learn about the “Infinite Leadership Loop” and how it starts (and ends) with pausing. Whether it’s a 60-second breath between Zoom calls or a full-on nap in the boardroom, this episode reminds you that rest isn't a reward; it’s a responsibility.

If you’re craving more grounded leadership and less of the nonstop hustle, this conversation is your permission slip to slow down, reset, and lead differently.


✨ What You’ll Learn

  • Why pausing feels so uncomfortable, especially for women in leadership
  • How societal expectations and impostor syndrome keep us from resting
  • The neuroscience behind why slowing down actually boosts leadership performance
  • Practical ways to integrate pauses into your day (without guilt)
  • How to model sustainable leadership for your team
  • The 4 types of leadership breaks: body, soul, mind, and strategy
  • Why rest is not laziness. It’s preparation for effective action

🗣️ Powerful Quotes

Kimberley MacKenzie said, “If you’re a leader and no one is following you, you’re just going for a walk.”

Kathy Archer shared, “You are not asking permission to take a break. Boundaries are not a question. They are a statement.”

Have you ever sat in a room full of confident leaders and wondered, '"What am I even doing here?” That feeling of not measuring up?

It’s called imposter syndrome—and it’s more common than you think.  

This episode is for you if you’ve ever doubted your leadership abilities.

In this episode, I open up about my own struggles with self-doubt, the moment I realized I wasn’t alone, and how I discovered that leading authentically is far more powerful than trying to fit a mould.

Culture is not only defined by policies and procedures but also by unwritten rules and behaviours. Creating a culture of appreciation makes people feel valued, recognized, and appreciated.

Although leaders need to recognize their employees, sharing the load of recognition and encouraging peer-to-peer recognition is essential. Sharing the load helps create a workplace where everyone feels appreciated and increases collaboration.

      Have you lost your passion for your work? 

      Do you wish you could feel engaged, create an engaged team and enjoy the work you do?

      All of that comes from allowing your heart to be involved in your work.

      Too often, we’ve been told to stop being so emotional. To no be so caring. We’ve been told we’ll burn ourselves out. 

      But we are burning ourselves out by not caring, not feeling and numbing out.

      In this episode, Elizabeth and I engage in a dialogue about bringing your heart back into your work! 

      You’ll learn strategies, mindsets and most importantly, you’ll gain the permission to once again feel the love in the workplace!

      ABOUT ELIZABETH 

      Elizabeth holds a diploma in Developmental Services, a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Religious Studies and a Masters degree in Adult Education.

      For thirty years, she’s been working in Human Services and Education, putting the Conscious Service Approach to work in her personal and professional life. Now, she’s helping other Helping Professionals do the same.

In part, that is due to the continuous cycle of crisis, drama and fires that leaders must deal with on a day-to-day basis.

      In this episode, you'll hear from Program Manager Mary Beth Finney. As she's advanced in her nonprofit organization's roles, she's watched her leaders and mentors and learned from them. When you add the on-the-job mentoring to her unique background, you'll understand why she's a bit ahead of the game when a crisis hits.

      Tune in to learn strategies to help you be proactive instead of reactive during the ongoing crises that are ever-present in the nonprofit sector.

Sometimes we seem to forget that as we become overwhelmed with the magnitude of work we have. 

      However, when you begin to think of relationships more as an investment than a simple transaction, you can quickly realize how important it is to invest in, develop and create meaningful collaborative relationships.

      My guest in this episode, Julia Meadows from Kindful, walks us through many examples of investing in, developing and creating meaning to establish solid collaborative relationships.

      In this episode, you will:​

      • Learn why selling isn't what you may think it is.
      • Discover how often you should be selling in your working relationships.
      • Ditch the salesperson perspective you might have and embrace selling and communicating to build collaboration!

But when it does, it diminishes our work to lead effectively. 

      Leaders do not have to burnout, though! There is a different way!

      Through her 30+ years in the nonprofit, Elizabeth has realized that as individuals providing services to people and communities, we MUST recognize that our number-one commitment must be to our OWN health and growth. 

       When we do that, the highest-evolved versions of ourselves capable of the most meaningful contributions and greatest change emerges! 

       Commitment to our health and growth is a responsibility we have to OURSELVES. 

       To do this work, Elizabeth has created the Conscious Service Approach. Learn more in this episode what it takes to be a confident conscious leader!

      A bit about Elizabeth 

      Elizabeth holds a diploma in Developmental Services, a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Religious Studies and a Masters degree in Adult Education. For thirty years, she’s been working in Human Services and Education, putting the Conscious Service Approach to work in her personal and professional life. Now, she’s helping other Helping Professionals do the same.

      However: • Have you ever taken training to speak in public? • Have you ever had the opportunity to practice speaking in public? Not to actually talk publicly, but practice public speaking with the opportunity to get feedback and grow and develop your skills? 

      If no, then it's no wonder you feel incompetent at times.

      Competent leadership is about: 1. Having skills 2. Having had the opportunity to learn to use those skills. In the nonprofit world, however, two problems impact your level of competence as a leader. 

      First, nonprofit leaders often move up the ranks from frontline positions without the accompanying training to go with the advancing role. We move you up from frontline, to the supervisor, to the manager to the coordinator to the director. However, you've never taken the actual training to go with that. 

      The second problem is when you do get some training you think you have to know immediately and be able to apply it immediately. When you don't, you take that training, and you still are not entirely competent at it, you beat yourself up.

      And that's where we feel inept.  That's where imposter syndrome comes in.  That's when we start to doubt ourselves, hold ourselves back, limit ourselves and keep ourselves playing small.

      Competence is about learning a skill and then practicing a skill.

      Two Questions In this episode, we will dig deep into the following two questions to help you consider how you can increase your leadership competence.

      1. Have I taken any training on this subject?  By training, I mean a course someone taught you at work, you know, mentored you, you read a book, you attended a webinar, maybe you watched a YouTube video, or you listen to a podcast, whatever, doesn't matter. But have I taken any amount of training on this subject?
      2. Have I had the opportunity to practice the skill? 

      The areas of leadership competence we talk about are: • Organizational development • How to build a team • Proposal writing • Reading financial reports  • Creating team meetings agendas • Conflict resolution • How to deal with your emotions at work • How to give an effective performance review? • Effective delegation • How to apply the company mission statement in your day to day work

      We've all seen certain leaders walk into the room, and you can tell that they are confident, self-assured, composed and have got it all together. 

      But they did not walk into their leadership role, feeling that confident.

      They did not get into that level of courage by hanging out in their comfort zone. 

      That leader was first brave. 

      • They took risks. 
      • They stepped outside their comfort zone again and again and again and did things that were uncomfortable, awkward, and yes, even scary. 

      The more times they push themselves outside of their comfort zone, their comfort zones grew. 

      As they stretched out of their comfort zone, they progressively became more confident, bit by bit by bit. 

      But that is because they were courageous first. 

      The challenge is, too many leaders wait to feel confident before they do things. 

      In this episode, you'll learn why courage first is essential, and some strategies for how to grow your leadership courage muscle!
