How can those of us focused on racial equity in education and philanthropy make a greater impact and do our part to guide the nation toward justice? One way, according to SEF COO Dr. Kenita Williams, MPP, EdD is to challenge one another to find more ways to build, support and expand research-based leadership programs focused on racial equity in education. Hear more about leadership for education equity from Dr. Williams in Grantmakers for Education's latest Member Insights. https://lnkd.in/eXQUNX_e

In my experience, Executive Teams often separate working on strategy and delivery from working on themselves. Then they turn their attention to what the wider team of colleagues need to be fully aligned, engaged and empowered to play their part. This is OK but it's so much more powerful to combine them, developing high performance relationships and behaviours whilst 'working on the work'. This is why we've teamed up with our parters at Hedgehog to develop The Leadership Advantage.

Real Talk! We Are Failing Our Youth, Neglected Our Future Leaders! 🤔 It's time for some real straight talk: we are not investing enough in our community. While we have access to mentors and coaching in our workplaces, this same level of support is often lacking in our mosques and community centres. Are we genuinely investing in our youth, or are we neglecting them? Our young people need guidance and opportunities to develop leadership skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging. By integrating mentoring programmes and coaching within our religious and cultural institutions, we can empower the next generation and ensure they have the tools they need to succeed. It's crucial that we prioritise this investment in our youth to foster a vibrant, resilient community for the future. #CommunityInvestment #YouthEmpowerment #MentoringMatters #CoachingForSuccess #SupportOurYouth #InvestInFuture #CommunityDevelopment #LeadershipTraining #MosquePrograms #CulturalSupport #YouthDevelopment #BuildingLeaders #Empowerment #CommunityEngagement #SupportSystems #EducationalSupport #FutureLeaders #YouthOpportunities #InclusiveCommunity #ResilientYouth #ProgenyPodcast https://lnkd.in/eBqMvGRe

Founder and CEO of Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy and Terrance Stone School and Community Consultants, Terrance Stone, recently spoke to High Desert Youth about the significance of persevering towards your goals and dreams, despite negative influences that may try to derail you. Mr. Stone's message was clear: don't let anything stop you from achieving your aspirations. Negative influences can come in many forms, such as peer pressure, societal norms, and even self-doubt. However, it's important to stay focused on your goals and not give in to these negative influences. As the CEO of two organizations that focus on youth leadership and community development, Mr. Stone has seen firsthand the positive impact that can come from staying true to your goals and dreams. His message resonated with the High Desert Youth, inspiring them to stay motivated and persevere towards their own aspirations. Remember, it's important to stay focused on your goals and not let negative influences hold you back. Keep pushing forward and striving towards your dreams!

I cannot speak highly enough about the great program that the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce puts on every year. Being a young(er) leader in an organization, especially one that oversees higher-level employees, can be challenging in ways you may not initially realize. Building camaraderie and professional relationships with a smaller and smaller number of peers as you move up the chain can be isolating. The Community Leadership Insitute (CLI) can provide young leaders with the peer-to-peer guidance, professional relationships, and frankly friendships that are so critical to the growth of young leaders in Central Mass. For a region that is often times overlooked, NCMCoC is doing their part to prepare the next cohort of true economic and community leaders. Thanks to Kat Deal and Roy Nascimento for their continued leadership in North Central Mass. #ncmcoc #leadership
