Management Training

Employees are the most important determinant of organizations’ effectiveness, and developing and retaining talent at the field level is critical to the future of the Jewish communal sector. Investing in management skills has an outsized impact - it improves the performance of the supervisor and, in turn, the performance and engagement of their current and future direct reports.

Peer Consulting Pods for Managers

Andy Cahill and Krish Jaiman of KONU

Let’s face it: being a manager is hard! (Or at least it can be.) You’re navigating competing priorities, uncertainty, and sticky challenges – all while feeling the pressure to please everyone and solve problems quickly. Sometimes, it feels impossible to step away from the day-to-day, think and feel more clearly, and make intentional and strategic moves.  

Peer Consulting Pods for Managers offer a unique opportunity to come together with fellow managers from across the Jewish nonprofit sector to learn and practice a well-tested and adaptable peer consultation protocol.  Peer Consulting Pods provide a space for managers to address their challenges head- and heart-on while also evolving their mindsets, making it more likely that the skills, tools, and frameworks will "stick".

So, how do Peer Consulting Pods work?  

  • In the two-hour kickoff session on November 13, KONU instructors will teach you a peer consultation protocol, developing your capacity for listening deeply, asking powerful questions, diagnosing challenges thoroughly, and generating creative action possibilities – critical skills for managers in today’s fast-paced world. 
  • After the kickoff session, you will be placed in a Peer Pod of 5-7 supervisors from Jewish nonprofit organizations across North America, building a community for practicing your new skills among supportive peers. 
  • Your Peer Pod will meet for three self-facilitated sessions using the peer consultation protocol guide. Participants will each bring a real-life management challenge to get support from their peers, and, in turn, practice holding a coaching stance for others to help these new skills stick.   
  • As a result of engaging in this process, participants will make progress on a management challenge they’re facing and also leave with a peer consultation protocol that will serve as a vital tool in their future management practices.
