HIVE LIVE Rewriting the Rules: We Inherited from the Nonprofit System
This event is hosted on LinkedIn. Registration is required to attend.
Addressing our burnout requires naming the problem in the first place: the system.
We know that the system is broken, but what if we’ve absorbed its ways of operating?
It’s time to talk about the survival habits, internalized beliefs, and cultural norms we’ve developed inside of those systems, and how we can unlearn them.
From glorifying martyrdom to treating scarcity like a badge of honor, too many of us have been conditioned to work in ways that disconnect us from care, clarity, and each other. We have the power to do it differently.
Date: Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026
Time: 12:30–1:15 PM (EST)
What We’ll Explore:
The narratives that quietly shape how we lead, relate, and burn out
How internalized nonprofit norms (like martyrdom and scarcity) show up in our daily work
Why unlearning is just as important as reimagining
How to use tools like schema assessments to kickstart individual and team healing
Panelists:
Kate Toth | Director of Coaching & Partner Success at YMCA WorkWell
Jacob Smith | Founding Director at Composing Youth Mobility
Marie-Ēve Monette | Director of Development at Sustainable Harvest Internations
Facilitator: Loretta Turner | Nonprofit Hive Advisory Board Member and Founder & Organizational Wellbeing Strategist at Do Good Leadership Collective
This conversation goes beyond “self-care.” It’s about reshaping the internal compass we’ve been given by a system that often rewards overwork and underinvestment.
Whether you're leading a team, navigating burnout, or rethinking how you show up—you’ll walk away with a new lens on the work and yourself.
Join us for a candid, grounding conversation on unlearning, healing, and doing nonprofit work differently.
Thank you to our sponsor Leaving Well for making this session possible
