Welcome back to Nonprofit CEO SPARK, the show that fuels your leadership, protects your energy, and helps you spark lasting change. I’m your host, Marcia Beckner.

Let me paint the picture.

You spend three hours writing a job posting. You list all the “must-haves,” cross your fingers, and wait.

--> Fifty-three applications land in your inbox.
--> Only two even kind of fit the bill.
--> You reach out to one, and they ghost you.
--> The other wants $30K more than you can offer.

Sound familiar?

One CEO recently told me, “I feel like I’m chasing people who don’t even want to work here.” And that stings especially when you know your mission matters.

So today, we are getting real about a leadership headache so many of you are facing:

Why it’s so dang hard to recruit and hire great staff right now, and what to do instead of just “posting and praying.”

Marcia Beckner helps nonprofit executives lead with confidence and create healthy, thriving workplace cultures, especially during times of growth and change.

After nearly 20 years in the nonprofit and social impact sector, she’s seen far too many talented, hard-working leaders burn out and walk away. It doesn’t have to be this way. Nonprofit CEO SPARK is your invitation to pause, pivot, and reignite your energy so you can lead with clarity, courage, and balance.
