Your Most Important Priority as a Humanitarian Leader
What is your most important priority as a humanitarian or development leader? Something that if you don't prioritize, your work will suffer, as well as those around you? It's not a donor proposal. Or a community visit. If you said your own health and wellbeing, you're right! If we are not healthy and in a positive mindframe, then the quality of our work will not be our best. And so we will not make the impact we're seeking. This seems like commonsense, but so many of us fail to prioritize ourselves, and suffer the consequences. Consequences like getting typhoid, or feeling demotivated, or being anxious all the time. So why do we keep pushing ourselves even when we know we are not prioritizing the most important thing - our health and wellbeing? In this episode I share how much better things are when we do prioritize ourselves, and how you can make the choice to start doing so even this week.
