Welcome back to Priceless Advice for Leaders of Volunteers! I am delighted to feature Heather Hiscox, author of the new book "No More Status Quo", founder of Pause for Change, and host of The Possibility Project podcast.

Conversation highlights include:

- Heather and I share our personal stories of successfully navigating the past few years of family caregiving, cancer, and COVID - oh my!

- Heather's inspiration and the main points of her book, "No More Status Quo", her writing and publishing process, and core values of her work.

- Creating community for nonprofits by centering compassion, care, and curiosity. Click the link in the video for her #TuesdayTips on that topic, too.

- Balancing self-care, especially for leaders of volunteers, in the midst of multiple crises and societal trauma.

- Recognizing the bias in ourselves and the complex systems we work within, and when we can choose to not participate in harm (i.e. "The Good Place" dilemma).

- Practicing radical empathy in times of monetized polarization, and doing nonprofit work as our best selves when too many people are encouraged to be and do their worst.

- Having empathy and compassion, care, and curiosity for yourself, too, when you've made mistakes.
