Publisher's Synopsis
How to Lead Without Losing Your Voice, Your Mind, or Your Mission
Being a nonprofit leader isn't noble-it's brutal.
You're expected to inspire people, raise money, fix systems, and heal the world-all while holding yourself together with duct tape and a smile. But what happens when you're the one falling apart?
In Karaoke Leadership, seasoned Executive Director Monica Piper pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to lead a mission without losing yourself. From managing burnout and money chaos to commanding a room and reclaiming your voice, this is the book every leader wishes they had their first day on the job (and every day after).
Raw, bold, and refreshingly real, Monica blends leadership lessons with lived experience-including rebuilding from trauma, leading solo through a pandemic, and finding power in the most unexpected place: a karaoke mic.
