We sharpen engagement strategies to activate thriving Jewish communities.
Real and lasting change runs from the core to the periphery, engaging everyone along the way.
How we can work together
Respectful Disruption, our signature approach inspired by nearly 30 years working closely with Jewish organizations, turns that first step into momentum that lasts.
Strategic planning, strategic thought partnership, program optimization — whatever your strategic needs are, you start with a vision, and the path there isn't obvious yet. We work alongside you to design a transparent, data-informed process that generates excitement and buy-in. That means that the final strategy is deeply resonant and reflects your community’s realities. Together, we co-create a plan so you can move your community forward and fulfill your vision.
STRATEGIC DESIGN
FACILITATION & TRAINING
The effectiveness of leadership and professional development depends almost entirely on how they are facilitated. Every session is curated and designed to be interactive, creative, effective, and memorable. Our workshops, retreats, staff trainings, and cohort experiences are grounded in best practices with a priority on experiential learning and Jewish wisdom. We build for rooms full of real people with real dynamics who are ready to have a game-changing experience!
MENTORSHIP
Beyond workshops and conferences, professional and leadership growth happens one-on-one, over time. We mentor senior volunteer lay leaders and high potential emerging leaders. We mentor rising, mid-career, and senior professionals. We guide and support leaders through the moments that don't have a clean solution yet: a hard decision, a role pivot, or a team that needs a different kind of leader for a particular moment. We’ve got you!
Most projects start with one and grow from there.

Mentorship
No matter who you are.

CORIPHERY recognizes that within our society there are individual and systemic power structures that inhibit, restrict, and exclude certain people. We strive to promote a culture in which all people are treated with respect and dignity, and included, seen, and accepted for their authentic selves. We see it as our responsibility to work in service of building a world that is free from bias, discrimination, barriers, and harassment. We express this vision through acts of solidarity, advocacy and encouraging self-awareness. We resist performative allyship, and rather, strive to be allies through amplifying the voices of those who need to be heard and working behind the scenes to build capacity. We seek allies who are aligned with this mission. We are committed to challenging the status quo, empowering underrepresented and minoritized people, and leading courageous conversations.
At CORIPHERY, we believe that an insider/outsider dynamic inhibits participation by fueling homogeneity and devaluing diversity. We attribute such patterns to a scarcity mindset, which is common in charitable organizations committed to advancing social impact with limited resources. We therefore engage our clients, partners and consultants in conversations that reflect an abundance mindset that elevates and advocates for diversity of thought and lived experience. We encourage adaptation, continuous learning and iteration to meet emerging needs of individuals and groups that have traditionally been excluded. When designing strategy, facilitating learning, and advising on programs, we uphold, prioritize, and actively seek opportunities to centre principles of inclusivity and allyship. We invite you to lean into this work with us as collaborators.
