Leading Without Losing Yourself

Leading Without Losing Yourself: Ethical Sustainability & Self-Leadership in Social Work Practice (3 CEU Hours)

You love the work — but the system can be exhausting.

Helping professionals face rising productivity demands, administrative overload, vicarious trauma exposure, and constant pressure to do more with less. Over time, chronic stress impacts decision-making, emotional regulation, ethical judgment, and long-term sustainability.

This practical, skills-based training moves beyond generic self-care and focuses on ethical sustainability in real-world practice. Participants will explore burnout vs. moral distress, the impact of over-functioning, and the neuroscience of chronic stress. You’ll gain structured prioritization tools, boundary-setting strategies, nervous system regulation techniques, and a practical framework for sustainable leadership.

Each attendee will leave with a personalized 30-Day Sustainability Plan designed to protect professional capacity and strengthen long-term effectiveness.

Protecting your capacity isn’t indulgent — it’s ethical responsibility.
