strengthening system leaders

I serve on the Leadership Development faculty of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, focusing on results and racial equity for system change leaders.  Results Count is a comprehensive and rigorous way to getting real results for kids and families while helping leaders grow and mature.  I also coach leaders in key leadership roles.

​

supporting liberatory Judaism

​Since October 7 I have been doing increased support for Jews taking liberatory actions, particularly around ending the war in Gaza and bringing freedom to Palestine.  This includes working with Rabbis for Ceasefire, and as a Movement Chaplain with Tzedek Lab.  I was the founding Project Director of Rise Up, a funding and community initiative that nurtures the soul of Jewish justice. 

​

well-being as leadership practice

In addition to building out this body of work for the Casey Foundation I've brought it to leaders in Bridgespan's LeaderIn program, women human rights defenders through Femena, and StriveTogether.

​​

helping white folks show up

This happens through coaching, mentoring and facilitation, and support for SURJ, Showing Up for Racial Justice,  If you're white and haven't found your place in the movement for racial justice, check out why organizing white people matters, find a chapter &/or become a member, plug into a current action.​

​

Make History to Remember.

A collaborative video project about how immigrants

have been targeted throughout US history, and a call to action

to make a different kind of history. 

Written in 2017 with Pam McMichael,

narrated by Ash-Lee Woodard

Henderson and Allyn Maxfield-Steele.  ​

Minding the Fault Lines

TedX talk from 2017, "Minding the Fault Lines," is an

invitation to invest in the inner skills we need to cross boundaries,

break through bias and repattern behavior.

When we're mindful in the stretch, the difficult

becomes generative.
