Spread the word! The next cohort of FemForward is starting soon. Know any amazing women who should apply?

Jewish Federations of North America Rachel Wagner Rosenzweig 👏
When the war broke out, all of our programming at FemForward was paused or cancelled and it was very worrying for the organization. But with every challenge comes an opportunity to help, and that is exactly how I saw this. Working women are struggling now more than ever; whether it is due to trauma, struggling to navigate their daily lives, having been displaced from the North or the South, running the household alone as their husbands are serving in the army, the list goes goes on. During these extremely difficult times, I am so proud to announce our partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America for the upcoming 2 cohorts of FemForward Leaders. 👏🏽 Details of our next cohort: 💫 The next cohort of FemForward Leaders is launching May 1st 2024 and will be 3.5 months. 💫 Applications will open Monday March 18th and close Monday April 15th. 💫 The cohort will be for 25 participants all working in junior positions in tech who aim to progress into managerial positions. 💫 There will be a focus on women who have been strongly affected by the war (e.g. if you are finding it challenging to navigate your daily life and falling behind at work) and those displaced from the North and the South. 💫 There will be weekly workshops led by female execs covering topics such as leadership development, career advancement, management, negotiation skills, communication skills, handing difficult conversations, etc; 💫 We will also provide workshops specifically tailored to navigating oneself during these difficult times of war; such as Financial Independence, Preparing for the Unknown, Dealing with Trauma, etc; 💫 FemForward is an inclusive program and aims to have both Arab and Jewish participation. Follow us at FemForward for all updates ⬅ Email info@femforward.org with any questions ⬅ Thank you so much to all those who personally helped during this time create something positive, it means the world: Jewish Federations of North America Roy Munin Danna Hochstein Mann Felicity R Aziz Fleur Hassan-Nahoum Khouloud Ayuti Mahmoud Khweis Michael Mizrahi Stav Erez Meirav Atun Amiry Ruth Moatti Gila Tolub

When it comes to building and supporting neurological diversity in the channel, there are numerous ways to strategize around increasing equity and inclusive leadership. Using metrics, internal polling and organizational focus groups are all solid ways to start. But what about tangible ways to increase representation within our workforce and leadership? And more importantly, how can organizations make their neuroinclusion efforts sustainable in the long term? Read Cass R. Cooper, MHR’s latest Inclusive Leadership column for CRN to find out: #neurodiversity

I have a superpower. I was born with a neurodevelopmental disability that makes it difficult to meaningfully connect with others, maintain strong social relationships, pick up social cues and adjust to changes in my environment. I am autistic. I am unique, quirky, loyal, and hardworking. I can live a full, happy, and enriching life, albeit with the advocacy and support of the community around me. My disability is a gift. As a result of my condition, I have a staggering ability to absorb information and understand complex topics. I am generous when sharing my knowledge with others and I enjoy volunteering to help those in need. I have an incredible ability to recall random, interesting, and often useless facts in casual conversation. I also have a strong sense of justice and often bring a refreshing perspective to the table during conflict resolution. And yet, I struggle with things many people don’t. Sending a simple email or text message can take me hours as I ruminate over whether my ‘tone’ is appropriate, or whether I’ve used the correct words in context. I am overstimulated by driving and avoid interstates and highways for fear of being the recipient of road rage. I have difficulty compartmentalizing and describing my emotions to others, which can be a barrier to reach out and get help when I most need it. Eye contact makes me uncomfortable and is often impossible when communicating complex thoughts. My fight or flight response is nearly always tingling. Too often, autistic adults are othered by society and not given an opportunity to live up to their full potential. We are often shamed by family, friends, and colleagues for differences we cannot control. We were taught young that it isn’t okay to be different, despite bombardment of social campaigns that spoke otherwise. We were taught to mask our true selves from others for fear of being bullied, or simply, for fear of not being loved. So, what’s my superpower? I know who I am, who I want to be, and what I am capable of. My condition doesn’t make me any less human or less deserving of respect. The label doesn’t define who am, but it does explain why and how I do the things that I do. I feel a duty to share my diagnosis with my network not to make excuses for the areas I'm limited, but rather to empower others to speak out and share their own struggles. Individually, our voices may be small, but together, we can prompt the change we so desperately need to live a vibrant and sustainable life. https://lnkd.in/gAGzjWGw #Autism #AutisticAdults #Neuroinclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion

Please read this important piece on BIPOC leadership in nonprofit and movement spaces by my good friend Dianne Morales!
Over the last two years I have been immersed in the research focused on BIPOC executives, the challenges we face, and the impact of the COVID crisis on the hiring of BIPOC leaders to rescue organizations at-risk, and the lack of corresponding supports. This has all been layered on a history of systemic and structural difficulties we've encountered in leadership. Stakeholders are trying to respond to the moment to create change, and that is encouraging. #StillRising offers several programs that focus on supporting BIPOC leaders in building community and social capital, strengthening capacity and practicing self-care & wellness. These programs combine learnings from my personal experiences with research findings regarding the things we need as leaders and often don't have access to. But we need more coordinated, intentional, system-wide comprehensive strategies that incorporate continuous improvement and learning if we really want to transform the status quo. We can't apply the traditional model of philanthropy and board governance to shifting the experiences of BIPOC leaders. I share some of my thoughts about this in Philanthropy New York this week.

My latest feature in Getting Smart about SEL work for students by connecting with wolves.
Discover the transformative power of the unique bond between wolves and humans at Wolf Connection, a remarkable 165-acre educational sanctuary nestled in southern California, in a new Getting Smart Blog by Michael Niehoff. At the heart of Wolf Connection's mission is the belief in empowering the next generation to become authentic leaders and stewards of the earth. Through direct relationships with rescued wolves, at-risk youth reconnect with nature, learn the value of service, and embark on a journey of self-discovery through Wolf Therapy. The key to their success lies in participants seeing themselves mirrored in the experiences of the wolves. Through these shared experiences, individuals gain insights into their own emotional landscapes, fostering resilience and empathy. Join us in celebrating the inspiring work of Wolf Connection and the transformative impact of Wolf Therapy on youth empowerment and leadership development: https://lnkd.in/g4e2_spm #GettingSmart #GettingSmartBlog #WolfConnection #WolfTherapy #YouthEmpowerment #LeadershipDevelopment #NatureTherapy

It’s one thing to read the data. It’s quite another to see it firsthand – or to hear stories from families and communities that have been affected. For nearly two years now, our leadership team has been on a statewide “listening tour” to learn more about the challenges and opportunities in our communities. The takeaway: North Carolinians want to focus on the opportunities for change. https://bit.ly/3ZDNWbg

thank you Building Movement Project for the research you are doing. the snippet from your recent study resonates deeply with me. there are many others starting to conduct or have conducted research on this topic as well. many thanks to each of you for adding data / numbers to our embodied experiences.
Fewer people, especially people of color, want to lead nonprofits. The Building Movement Project's recent study found "executive directors of color continue to report less support from boards and staff than their white peers. For example, 70 percent of white executive directors said they had strong support from their board when they entered their positions compared with just 49 percent of leaders of color." Add this to the uphill battle leaders of color face in getting institutional giving relative to their white peers. Nonprofit leadership, especially for leaders of color, has become an almost impossible job that often drowns out the personal and professional benefits gained from being deeply engaged in mission-driven work. Here are 6 ways to make things better for leaders of color: ✅ Do the internal work of figuring out where a leader of color may have challenges even before they arrive, with you or with the organization. And, make the changes you need to, not for a person, but because it's who you want to be. ✅ Pay them exceptionally well. Nonprofit leaders of color often work in spaces where they are fighting for their community's right to have the same freedoms, rights, economic stability, and status in society as those in the majority. The emotional toll is incalculable, and our country and world would be so much worse off without this sacrifice. Pay them like our lives - and values - depend on it, because they do. ✅ Make sure the board and staff are prepared to support a leader of color when they come in, i.e. ensure your organization is inclusive before you ask someone else to "fix" it. ✅ Have a plan in place to build the relationship between the Board Chair and the new leader, i.e. don't leave it to chance or chemistry. ✅ Provide leaders of color with access to premium mental health care - therapists, psychiatrists, coaches, shamans, acupuncturists, and other healers. What works for you might not work for them - so give them flexibility in how they sustain themselves. ✅ Connect leaders of color with the breadth and depth of your networks, go above and beyond. Invest in their success beyond any one organization or project. We all do better when we all do better. Please repost and share if you think the above is useful. Thank you! #myposts #leadersofcolor #coaching #bipoc #coachesofcolor
