How to actually set boundaries as a nonprofit leader - the script 

✋ *Saying no doesn’t make you the meanie—it makes you an intentional nonprofit leader.*

Setting boundaries is one of the most important leadership skills you can develop.

Why? Because it protects your energy, ensures your focus on priorities, and sets an example for your team.

But let’s be honest—setting boundaries is *hard*.

It can feel uncomfortable, even guilt-inducing, especially when you’re worried about how others will perceive you.

✨ Here’s the truth: Boundaries take *moral courage.*

They require you to stay true to your values, even when it’s not easy.

Here’s how you can say no with kindness:

💬 *“I’ve got a lot on my plate right now, so I’m going to have to pass—but I know you’ll rock it without me!”*

💬 *“I can’t say yes to this without letting something else slide, and that’s not fair to anyone.”*

💬 *“I’d love to help, but my energy’s running low, and I need to recharge so I can show up fully for what’s already on my list.”*

*When you set boundaries, you’re showing up authentically and leading with integrity.*
