Dear Fellow Professionals,

Do you give 110% of your energy to every volunteer project, regardless if it’s an educational or religious organization, a charitable organization or a professional organization?

Despite your best intentions, do these experiences ever leave you feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, frustrated, angry, guilty or simply “spent”?

When was the last time you were invited to take a volunteer position or Board appointment and you were on the fence about whether to accept?

Would you like to be more discerning about which volunteer opportunities are best for you?

Would you like to decline some of those invitations decisively, firmly and graciously?

Would you like to accept other invitations consciously, confidently and enthusiastically?

Whether you're an experienced volunteer trying to get the magic back, or a new volunteer trying to start off on the right foot, you're about to discover the answer in a simple but transformative 3-step process is the answer.

You can repeat these same 3 steps, again and again, to experience:

"We have made it. We are successful professionals. We've worked hard. We deserve to live well. We deserve to enjoy our free time, our families, our friends, our hobbies and our travels. We've earned it.  

Then, we take stock in just how much we've actually received in just one lifetime. We realize that it was much more than just our own hard work, determination and work ethic that made us a success. We have many to whom we are grateful. We know that we have benefited from those who have come before us. 

In appreciation for all of life's blessings, we want so much to give back. We want our life to be more than a string of personal and professional successes. We want to experience meaning.  We want to leave our mark. So, when someone asks us for a little help now and then, of course, we say "yes".  And, when asked by someone else, we say "yes.  And, we say, "yes" again and again.    

Pretty soon, instead of saying "yes", we feel spent.  We apologize, we make excuses, we feel guilty, and we withdraw from volunteer experiences that we once found rewarding and meaningful!" – from the introduction of "Tithe Your Time: Giving Your Professional Services to Make a Difference in the Non-Profit World."  

I'm Diane Krause-Stetson, the author of Tithe Your Time: Giving Your Professional Services to Make a Difference in the Non-Profit World. As a longtime volunteer with many non-profit organizations, I've experienced both the dark and the light side of volunteering. 

As a certified coach and mentor, I've worked with executives and other individuals who want to bring more meaning into their lives, and I've perfected a discovery process that uncovers just what is valuable to each individual, and how to make daily choices that align with those values

And when it comes to volunteering, you DO have a choice about whether and how you'll give your time.  

So before you raise your hand one more time to take on a volunteer role or activity that does not leverage your strengths or that does not leaving your heart singing with joy, think about what YOU want to give and think about what YOU need. 

Instead of begrudgingly going from one volunteer meeting to another, regretting the commitments you undertook at a time of blind enthusiasm, weakness or guilt, make a conscious and confident decision to accept enthusiastically or decline graciously.
