All Together Now: 

A Collaborative Cohort
for Congregational Leadership Teams

Launching April 2025

ABOUT THE COHORT

Highly functioning leadership teams are an essential component of thriving organizations. When leaders have a shared vision, strong communication, clearly defined roles, and a collaborative mindset, an organization can experiment, grow and prosper. 

This cohort will bring together the three core leadership roles, Rabbis, Executive Directors, and lay leaders, in a rigorous, engaging, and intentional process of collaboration and co-creation. 

Experience has taught us that cohorts are the most effective way for human transformation because they drive learner engagement and increase the degree of practical outcomes.

We will gather six times, biweekly on Zoom, from April-June and then once every three months through early 2026. There will be a mix of training and project driven work, with time all together as well as breakouts by role.

Deadline to apply: Tuesday, March 4, 2025

Throughout this program, your team will:

  • Deepen Relationships

  • Enhance Communication 

  • Clarify Roles & Responsibilities

  • Cultivate High-Functioning Teams

  • Maximize Feedback & Conflict Mitigation Skills

  • Strengthen Leadership Skills

  • Create a Leadership Development Framework 

FACILITATION TEAM

Rabbi Benjamin Ross, Rev. Cameron Trimble & Barri Waltcher 

ENDORSEMENT: Bruce Goodman, Co-President, Mishkan Or, Cleveland, OH

Our confidence in Benjamin and Cameron, their work and approach, led us to implement much of what they recommended despite knowing how difficult it would be on our organization. If you are looking for individuals that you can trust, who truly care about doing the right thing and not the easy thing, who will give you honest feedback and opinions, and that are truly professional in all of their work and interactions, I would highly recommend them.
