This year 16 Jewish Social Change-Makers will become Mensch Impact Leader Fellows
7 Oct – 30 November 2021
They will graduate from LIFT, Mensch’s inaugural leadership development programme and learning experience, designed for the Jewish social change-maker working in leadership roles across wider South Africa.
About The Programme
We asked participants the three questions:
• Which ‘leadership muscles’ do you need to strengthen?
• What is holding you back as a leader?
• What are the top three areas you would like to develop?
We then developed a hybrid online and in-person programme to meet their needs, comprising:
7 Weekly Online Learning Sessions
4 focused on leadership: Leading Self, Leading Others, Management & Coaching,
3 focused on management skills (from 5 electives): Managing the Message (Marketing), the Ask (Fundraising), Money (financials and Budgets), People (HR), the Board (Governance).
1 Day In-person Workshop in CT & JHB
Leading strategically: Strategic vision, business plan development and review, goalsetting & measurement
3 Day In-person Retreat Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat
Leading together and Self-care: A highlight of the year! A time to connect, learn, zoom out — and in! Masterclasses, Peer-led sessions, Inspirational speakers, Jewish learning, Tree-planting, Connecting with and spending time in nature.
This Retreat will take place at Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat outside of Stanford in the Western Cape.
AND…BONUS!
Access to up to R5,000 worth of further coaching, leadership or skills development.
