🎧 Leadership, Doubt, and the Future of Our Nonprofit Sector – Podcast Episode with Marc A. Pitman

I’m honored to share a recent conversation I had with Kristin Steele and Samantha Swaim on The Fundraising Elevator podcast.

With Kristin and Samantha, conversations go deep QUICKLY. We went into possible roots for burnout experienced by nonprofit leaders. And then looked at what leaders can do to retain the joy in this important work.

I think you’ll find the conversation both timely and encouraging.

In this episode, we explored:

What it means to lead in a time of upheaval
How historical systems still shape today’s nonprofit sector
The surprising roots of common tools like Gantt charts
Why burnout is often by design – and what leaders can do about it
How doubt can actually be a signal that you’re on the right path

We also dug into how leaders can build momentum even when the system isn’t built for thriving—and why learning to say “I don’t know” might be the bravest leadership move you can make right now.
