In this continuation, we delve further into Lisa Simms Booth’s experiences as a leader. Lisa discusses the prevalence of scarcity mindset in non-profit funding, innovative ways to collaborate, ways to empower team members’ work-life balance, and how to care for yourself (and your team) when your work truly never ends. 

Lisa shares a beautiful story about a previous client returning to Smith Center for Healing and the Arts—and the empowering experience of recognizing and receiving the impact of your work. 

We wrap up with Lisa sharing her advice for anyone who knows someone living with a cancer diagnosis, and how to hold space for others going through complicated experiences.

Because the need is great and because my staff loves this community just as much as I do, I know we say yes to a lot more than we say no to. We’re constantly saying yes because we want to serve—we want to do. So, it’s a constant weighing and balancing of that, because we can’t do everything. But we understand the needs of the people that we serve and we want to be there for them.
