Culture is power. It’s everywhere, from the media we consume to the clothes we wear. It has the power to inspire others and make world-changing impact. So why aren’t more changemakers at its center?
The Elevate Prize team is officially OOO next week! Inspired by Malala and Malala Fund, we introduced our inaugural wellness week last year to rest and recharge. Our team carefully selected a week in July to collectively take time to ourselves, and the result was truly magical. Anyone who has experienced burnout understands the toll it takes on your body and mind. And those of us in the nonprofit sector know intimately that it’s impossible to fill the cups of others when you feel depleted on a personal level. My own experience with fatigue and exhaustion eventually pushed me to explore deeper mindfulness practices, something that I’ve found to be extremely transformational and impactful throughout my career.

3moTruly, you cannot pour from an empty cup. Team wellness should be a non-negotiable for every organization.
