SUMMARY:PowerNET Replay Series: Stronger Together: An Innovative Staff Engagement Model NETTalk
DESCRIPTION:Miss PowerNET? Missed PowerNET? Continue the PowerNET experience- or start it here!\nThe PowerNET Replay Workshop Series brings the energy and insight of our annual conference directly to your screen. This special NETTalk series features eight of the highest-rated sessions from PowerNET 2026\, presented again by the original speakers for those who couldn’t attend the conference\, missed a concurrent session\, or want another opportunity to engage with the content. \nDesigned for nonprofit professionals\, agency leaders\, and changemakers in Jewish human services\, these replay sessions offer the same impactful learning\, practical strategies\, and thought-provoking discussions that resonated with PowerNET attendees. \nWhether you’re advancing leadership strategies\, exploring innovation\, or working to strengthen your agency’s impact\, PowerNET Replay is here to keep the conversation\, and the momentum\, going. \nStronger Together—A Innovative Model for Staff Engagement for Organizational Excellence\nSeptember 23rd\, 2:00-3:00pm ET \nHosted by the HR Professionals NETGroup \nThe “Stronger Together—Innovative Staff Engagement for Organizational Excellence” workshop spotlights how Gulf Coast JFCS transformed its culture through staff-driven initiatives\, offering valuable lessons for the human service sector. Participants will learn how the Stronger Together committee addressed key challenges such as high turnover\, staff burnout\, and inclusivity\, especially in settings with limited resources. \nThe session covers topics including effective onboarding\, wellness programming\, flexible work arrangements\, and diversity advocacy—practical solutions that resulted in reduced turnover and boosted staff satisfaction. Through interactive presentations\, attendees will explore barriers to engagement\, discover ways to measure the impact of their efforts\, and discuss strategies to secure leadership buy-in and funding. \nAttendees will leave with actionable frameworks designed for easy replication or customization in their own agencies\, no matter their size or capacity. By sharing proven approaches and lessons learned\, the workshop empowers human service professionals to foster resilient\, supportive\, and inclusive workplaces. The Stronger Together model demonstrates that meaningful organizational change is possible\, sustainable\, and scalable—providing participants with the inspiration and practical means to champion excellence in their own teams. \n“Stronger Together” is a Network Innovation Exchange Winner for 2025!

From supporting individuals affected by antisemitism and global conflicts to addressing everyday human suffering\, organizational leaders must cultivate resilience—not as a reactive measure\, but as a proactive\, preventive framework embedded in daily operations. This interactive workshop introduces NATAL’s resilience model\, developed through decades of supporting Israeli communities through continuous trauma. Participants will move beyond crisis management to learn how resilience-focused leadership prevents burnout\, reduces PTSD symptoms\, and sustains high-performing teams even amid adversity. \nKey challenges addressed: \n• Recognizing early warning signs of burnout\, vicarious trauma\, and PTSD in team members before they escalate \n• Managing employees who witness and absorb human pain daily without compromising their wellbeing or organizational effectiveness \n• Maintaining team stability and performance during community crises and ongoing stressors \n• Creating sustainable self-care cultures rather than one-time wellness initiatives \nPractical tools and strategies participants will gain: \n• Concrete daily practices for leaders and their teams \n• Red flag identification protocols for recognizing when employees need intervention \n• Conversation frameworks for addressing mental health concerns with sensitivity and effectiveness \n• Implementation blueprints for embedding resilience routines\, rituals\, and organizational practices \n• Differentiation strategies for various trauma types affecting Jewish service organizations: vicarious trauma\, secondary trauma\, shared community trauma\, and continuous stress exposure \nWhether leading a small team or an enterprise organization\, participants will discover that resilience-focused leadership is not an add-on to existing responsibilities—it’s a transformative approach that strengthens organizational culture\, improves retention\, and ensures leaders can sustain their mission for the long term. \nPresented by: \n\nHila Shvoron\, Deputy CEO\, Director of Community Resiliency\, NATAL: Israel Trauma & Resiliency Center\n\n \n\nSharon Yeheskel-Oron\, Director\, NATAL Global\, NATAL: Israel Trauma & Resiliency Center\n\n \nTensions and Alignment: The relationship between funders and service providers\nOctober 22nd\, 1:00-2:00pm ET \nRegister Here \nHosted by the Development Professionals NETGroup \nAny service providing agency seeks out funders to support their work and for most of us in the Jewish social service world\, we partner with funders from within the Jewish community as well as outside the Jewish community like government funding and corporate foundations. These relationships always have enough alignment to lead to funding – but there is inevitably tension in the relationship too. In this session\, JIAS Toronto and two of our funders will speak candidly about some of these tensions: \n– Storytelling: who has the right to tell the stories of our clients and work? Everyone is telling the stories of clients and services – the agencies\, the funders\, community partners\, and everyone we interact with. Who has the right to tell the story? What story is appropriate to tell? \n– Red Lines: what do we do if funders have particular positions or guidelines that are not perfectly aligned with the funded agency? Every funder has been faced with an agency they want to fund for a particular project; however\, there is a value misalignment that may upset board members or conflict with the funder’s guidelines. What happens in these situations for both parties? And as we grow and change as organizations\, our narratives change\, both grantees and funders. How do we check (and do we?) if we still have enough in common and there is no misalignment on the fundamentals. \n– Reporting: what can a funder ask for\, what do they have a right to know? It’s not unheard of for an agency to get a new request from a funder for data or stories partway through a granting period. Do you always need to say yes? \n– Service Delivery Preferences: funders sometimes want to influence how a program or service is delivered and by whom. \nWhen a funder has a strong opinion about how the services should be delivered or which staff or partners should or should not be involved\, what does a grantee do to maintain funding and also maintain control of their work? The session will address these common tensions\, give examples of how both sides of the funding relationship address these issues\, and leave space for discussion on how we can address these tensions as a sector. \nPresented by: \n\nNaomi Kramer. Senior Manager\, Development\, JIAS Toronto\n\n \n\nJoshua Otis\, Senior Director\, Social Services and Community\, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto\n\n \n\nStacey Helpert\, President\, Stacey Helpert – Strategic Philanthropy\n\n \n  \nScroll to the Top to Register!

SUMMARY:PowerNET Replay Series: Everything Changed—Including Me: Change Leadership NETTalk
DESCRIPTION:Miss PowerNET? Missed PowerNET? Continue the PowerNET experience- or start it here!\nThe PowerNET Replay Workshop Series brings the energy and insight of our annual conference directly to your screen. This special NETTalk series features eight of the highest-rated sessions from PowerNET 2026\, presented again by the original speakers for those who couldn’t attend the conference\, missed a concurrent session\, or want another opportunity to engage with the content. \nDesigned for nonprofit professionals\, agency leaders\, and changemakers in Jewish human services\, these replay sessions offer the same impactful learning\, practical strategies\, and thought-provoking discussions that resonated with PowerNET attendees. \nWhether you’re advancing leadership strategies\, exploring innovation\, or working to strengthen your agency’s impact\, PowerNET Replay is here to keep the conversation\, and the momentum\, going. \nEverything Changed – Including Me: A Shared Conversation on Change Leadership\nSeptember 15th\, 1:00-2:00pm ET \nChange management is often presented as a neat sequence of steps. But anyone who’s lived it knows better: it’s messy\, unpredictable\, and deeply personal. Over the past five years\, I’ve led my nonprofit through major transformation: changes to the funding models\, digitization\, evolving programs\, changing the physical layout\, and shifts in the culture. It’s been exhilarating and exhausting\, humbling and rewarding…and I’m still in it. This workshop is an invitation to explore that experience together. It’s for anyone who is leading change\, bracing for it\, recovering from it\, or trying to make sense of what it has meant for them as a leader and as a person. I’ll share the story of our organizational transformation (the real one\, not the polished version). You’ll hear about the resistance I faced in transforming JEM from a charity to a thriving social enterprise. I’ll talk about what worked\, what failed\, the rocky road to hitting some meaningful KPIs\, and how I was transformed in the process. Perhaps you’ll see your own experience reflected in mine. But this isn’t just my story. I want to hear yours\, too: your moments of triumph and doubt\, your unexpected lessons\, your failures that became memorable learning moments. My hope is that by sharing our stories\, we’ll be reminded that leading change is not about perfection. Rather\, it’s about courage\, connection\, and growth. \nThis session is for: \n• Anyone currently leading a change process \n• Anyone anticipating change and feeling nervous (or excited) about it \n• Anyone who’s burned out\, frustrated\, or ready to give up \n• Anyone who’s come out the other side…wiser\, maybe a little scarred\, but stronger \n• Anyone who wants to be seen and validated for what they’ve lived through \n• Anyone who wants to learn\, reflect\, and contribute to a community of real\, imperfect change leaders \nThe takeaways include a clearer sense of how change transforms organizations and leaders; validation and support from peers walking similar paths; practical and emotional strategies for sustaining change leadership; and a renewed sense of community and courage. \nIf you’ve ever thought\, “I didn’t know this would change me so much\,” this workshop is for you. \nPresented by: \n\nMaia Cooper\, Executive Director\, JEM Workshop\n\n \n  \nCheck out the next NETTalks:\n  \nStronger Together—A Innovative Model for Staff Engagement for Organizational Excellence\nSeptember 23rd\, 2:00-3:00pm ET \nRegister Here \nHosted by the HR Professionals NETGroup \nThe “Stronger Together—Innovative Staff Engagement for Organizational Excellence” workshop spotlights how Gulf Coast JFCS transformed its culture through staff-driven initiatives\, offering valuable lessons for the human service sector. Participants will learn how the Stronger Together committee addressed key challenges such as high turnover\, staff burnout\, and inclusivity\, especially in settings with limited resources. \nThe session covers topics including effective onboarding\, wellness programming\, flexible work arrangements\, and diversity advocacy—practical solutions that resulted in reduced turnover and boosted staff satisfaction. Through interactive presentations\, attendees will explore barriers to engagement\, discover ways to measure the impact of their efforts\, and discuss strategies to secure leadership buy-in and funding. \nAttendees will leave with actionable frameworks designed for easy replication or customization in their own agencies\, no matter their size or capacity. By sharing proven approaches and lessons learned\, the workshop empowers human service professionals to foster resilient\, supportive\, and inclusive workplaces. The Stronger Together model demonstrates that meaningful organizational change is possible\, sustainable\, and scalable—providing participants with the inspiration and practical means to champion excellence in their own teams. \n“Stronger Together” is a Network Innovation Exchange Winner for 2025! Learn more about the Innovation Exchange. \nPresented by: \n\nMelanie Brady\, Vice President of Children and Family Services\, Gulf Coast Jewish Family & Community Services\n\n \nResilience-Focused Leadership: Building Thriving Teams in Jewish Human Service Organizations\nOctober 6th\, 1:00-2:15pm ET \nRegister Here \nIn today’s complex landscape of Jewish human service work\, leaders face unprecedented challenges managing teams exposed to trauma\, crisis\, and ongoing community stress. From supporting individuals affected by antisemitism and global conflicts to addressing everyday human suffering\, organizational leaders must cultivate resilience—not as a reactive measure\, but as a proactive\, preventive framework embedded in daily operations. This interactive workshop introduces NATAL’s resilience model\, developed through decades of supporting Israeli communities through continuous trauma. Participants will move beyond crisis management to learn how resilience-focused leadership prevents burnout\, reduces PTSD symptoms\, and sustains high-performing teams even amid adversity. \nKey challenges addressed: \n• Recognizing early warning signs of burnout\, vicarious trauma\, and PTSD in team members before they escalate \n• Managing employees who witness and absorb human pain daily without compromising their wellbeing or organizational effectiveness \n• Maintaining team stability and performance during community crises and ongoing stressors \n• Creating sustainable self-care cultures rather than one-time wellness initiatives \nPractical tools and strategies participants will gain: \n• Concrete daily practices for leaders and their teams \n• Red flag identification protocols for recognizing when employees need intervention \n• Conversation frameworks for addressing mental health concerns with sensitivity and effectiveness \n• Implementation blueprints for embedding resilience routines\, rituals\, and organizational practices \n• Differentiation strategies for various trauma types affecting Jewish service organizations: vicarious trauma\, secondary trauma\, shared community trauma\, and continuous stress exposure \nWhether leading a small team or an enterprise organization\, participants will discover that resilience-focused leadership is not an add-on to existing responsibilities—it’s a transformative approach that strengthens organizational culture\, improves retention\, and ensures leaders can sustain their mission for the long term. \nPresented by: \n\nHila Shvoron\, Deputy CEO\, Director of Community Resiliency\, NATAL: Israel Trauma & Resiliency Center\n\n \n\nSharon Yeheskel-Oron\, Director\, NATAL Global\, NATAL: Israel Trauma & Resiliency Center\n\n \nTensions and Alignment: The relationship between funders and service providers\nOctober 22nd\, 1:00-2:00pm ET \nRegister Here \nHosted by the Development Professionals NETGroup \nAny service providing agency seeks out funders to support their work and for most of us in the Jewish social service world\, we partner with funders from within the Jewish community as well as outside the Jewish community like government funding and corporate foundations. These relationships always have enough alignment to lead to funding – but there is inevitably tension in the relationship too. In this session\, JIAS Toronto and two of our funders will speak candidly about some of these tensions: \n– Storytelling: who has the right to tell the stories of our clients and work? Everyone is telling the stories of clients and services – the agencies\, the funders\, community partners\, and everyone we interact with. Who has the right to tell the story? What story is appropriate to tell? \n– Red Lines: what do we do if funders have particular positions or guidelines that are not perfectly aligned with the funded agency? Every funder has been faced with an agency they want to fund for a particular project; however\, there is a value misalignment that may upset board members or conflict with the funder’s guidelines. What happens in these situations for both parties? And as we grow and change as organizations\, our narratives change\, both grantees and funders. How do we check (and do we?) if we still have enough in common and there is no misalignment on the fundamentals. \n– Reporting: what can a funder ask for\, what do they have a right to know? It’s not unheard of for an agency to get a new request from a funder for data or stories partway through a granting period. Do you always need to say yes? \n– Service Delivery Preferences: funders sometimes want to influence how a program or service is delivered and by whom. \nWhen a funder has a strong opinion about how the services should be delivered or which staff or partners should or should not be involved\, what does a grantee do to maintain funding and also maintain control of their work? The session will address these common tensions\, give examples of how both sides of the funding relationship address these issues\, and leave space for discussion on how we can address these tensions as a sector. \nPresented by: \n\nNaomi Kramer. Senior Manager\, Development\, JIAS Toronto\n\n \n\nJoshua Otis\, Senior Director\, Social Services and Community\, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto\n\n \n\nStacey Helpert\, President\, Stacey Helpert – Strategic Philanthropy\n\n \n  \nScroll to the Top to Register!
