| Season 2 / Episode #10 - Volunteers: The Heartbeat of the Not-for-Profit | 23 May 2023 | 00:22:07 | |
In this episode, we explore the invaluable role of volunteers and the tremendous impact they have within the non-profit world. Volunteers are the heartbeat of non-profit organizations, offering their time, skills, and passion to support meaningful causes and create positive change in their communities. Volunteers act as catalysts for change, inspiring and mobilizing communities toward a common purpose. Their dedication and enthusiasm are contagious, igniting a ripple effect that touches the lives of those they serve and inspires others to get involved. By giving their time and energy freely, volunteers serve as beacons of hope, demonstrating that everyone has the capacity to contribute and make a meaningful impact, regardless of their background or resources. The value of volunteers extends beyond their direct assistance. They provide essential support to non-profit organizations, enabling them to stretch their limited resources further and achieve their missions more effectively. Volunteering can be a transformative experience for individuals themselves. It offers a platform for personal growth, fostering new skills, building relationships, and broadening perspectives. Through their involvement, they become advocates and ambassadors, spreading awareness and inspiring others to join the cause. In this podcast series, we will delve into volunteer management strategies, & we invite you to join us on this journey of discovery and celebration of the extraordinary power of volunteers in the non-profit sector. Remember, as Mahatma Gandhi said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Volunteers embody this sentiment, and their collective efforts have the potential to create a brighter, more compassionate world for all. Stay tuned for future episodes, where we will feature the stories of remarkable volunteers who have made an indelible mark on the non-profit landscape.

| Episode #6 - A Team Player | 23 Jan 2022 | 00:41:04 | |
How To Keep Your Day Job Podcast Show Notes – S1 E6 In this episode of the How To Keep Your Day Job podcast Lisa interviews Catherine, a Canadian Certified Physician Assistant. She grew up in a small city in Ontario and completed her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing at Trent University. Upon completion, she was looking to pursue a career that would allow her more autonomy. That is when Catherine discovered the role of a Physician Assistant. At that time, the role of a Physician Assistant was new in Canada and the University of Manitoba Master of Physician Assistant Program was in its youth. Catherine was drawn to the profession as she enjoyed working as part of a team and wanted to explore learning via the medical model. The role of the Physician assistant allowed her to switch between medical specialties. Upon graduation, Catherine worked as part of a urology team before moving into primary care. She has been a PA for 10 years and is passionate about her role. She is an advocate for her patients, and as a PA she is able to improve access to quality care.

| Episode #5 - TIME | 23 Dec 2021 | 00:12:05 | |
This month’s podcast is not focusing on a career or how someone manages their day job. It focuses on time. There is never enough time. Don’t you agree? No matter what you celebrate, December is a month to slow down. Staci speaks about slowing down and for her this is a time to reflect on wellness. When you do not find that balance or time to slow down, it can affect your mental health and coping. Lisa speaks about time in the aspect of leadership. There is never enough time to accomplish what you need to in not-for-profit organizations. Lack of time can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and you can “hit your wall”. When we are overwhelmed, it highlights feeling unappreciated and then the time we give to our chosen field feels wasted without acknowledgment. If you are overwhelmed in the service of others there are places that you can call: Crisis Line 204-786-8686/Toll Free 1-888-322-3019 Manitoba Suicide Line 1-877-435-7170 If you are a not-for-profit leader in Canada and are interested in our leader’s collaborative, go to www.morningstarconsultant.com and click on our service page and our leaders lab. There is a quote I really like, "Individually we are a drop, but together we are an ocean", Ryunosuke Satoro. This podcast is not associated with or endorsed by any company, employer or agency.

| Episode #4 - From Crisis Worker To Social Worker | 24 Nov 2021 | 00:41:19 | |
How To Keep Your Day Job Podcast Show Notes – S1 E4 In this episode of the How to Keep Your Day Job podcast Lisa interviews Michael McCallum, who went from crisis worker to social worker. Michael describes himself as a 53-year-old trans man. Married to a wonderful woman who happens to be his best friend. They work as a team to raise their five children. Michael fell into social services at the age of 22. He started his journey as a group home worker. He went back to school in his forties, completing a Bachelor of Social Work on his fiftieth birthday. Michael shared that when he was in his forties, he transitioned because he believed that the only way to truly help people was to completely live his life authentically. He says it’s been a bumpy road, but he has excellent people around him and that makes all the difference. He encourages you “to find your people (they will be the ones cheering you on) and allow them to support you. Believe in yourself”! November 13-19th is Trans Awareness week and the 20th is the Day of Remembrance. At Morning Star we hope to build safe environments for those who identify as transgender, two spirited, non-binary or gender non-conforming every day. At Morning Star we invite everyone to just be their authentic self! Lisa and Michael talked about when things are a struggle, so we have listed some Manitoba specific supports.

| Episode #3 - The First 90 Days | 23 Oct 2021 | 00:34:14 | |
How To Keep Your Day Job Podcast #3 – Show Notes In this episode of the How to Keep Your Day Job podcast I interview Lisa about her experiences as a leader in the not-for-profit world. We talk about what leadership looks like in the first 90 days of a new role, how to build a five-year plan and the biggest challenge of managing people. Lisa shares some of the tips and tools she uses to meet expectations and what makes her “geek out”. At one point, Lisa talked about her experiences of living with ADHD. October is ADHD Awareness Month. ADHD & the term ‘deficit disorder’ puts ADHD in the realm of pathology, or disease. Individuals with ADHD do not have a disease, nor do they have a deficit; to be honest most have a ton of attention. The challenge is learning how to control it & that is why Lisa talks about how she organizes her tasks and projects.
