What Four *Live* Workshops are included in the #SiS 2026 Workshop Series......

Sustainability in Service isn’t about doing your job better—you’re already a pro at that. It is about reclaiming your capacity. 

 

We often think leadership and service to the vulnerable  relies on our competence—our degrees, our knowledge and resumes. High-quality service doesn’t require you to sacrifice your own wellbeing; it requires your wholeness. The Sustainability in Service Workshops Bundle is about you maintaining your capacity all year.......minus the burnout.

 Because You’ve Been Holding it Together But Your Falling Apart

 

You are already incredible at what you do—you care, you serve, and you hold space for others' trauma, grief, and shame. To do this well, you’ve mastered the "poker face": the ability to stay steady and regulated while the storm happens beneath the surface.


But there is a hidden cost to staying "professional" all day.


Your nervous system doesn’t know you’re just "performing calm". It just knows you are repeatedly suppressing your own flinch, your own cry, and your own rage. Eventually, that suppression becomes your default setting. You walk through your front door with the mask still on, feeling "too tight to rest," only to snap at your partner or feel rattled by the smallest domestic tasks.


In 2026, it’s time to stop being the one left behind in your own life.
 

Traditional self-care often feels like another "to-do" list item. This session moves beyond superficial fixes by integrating the deep, enduring wisdom of First Nations culture. This topic was specifically highlighted by peers as essential for those who have felt the deep "burn" of their profession and are looking for intentional stillness to anchor themselves.
 

You didn't enter this profession to manage spreadsheets or fight with systems; you entered it because you care. But let’s be honest: the relentless rise in pressure, policy shifts, and funding cuts can make you feel like your energy is leaking faster than you can patch the hole.
 

If you want to be a leader in your field, you have to go there first. We often think leadership is about competence—our degrees, our resumes, our ability to solve every crisis. But the real question for 2026 isn't about your competence; it’s about your capacity.

True leadership isn't a performance; it’s a way of being.
