Ep 516 | The Israeli Bond with Gal Swisa Cohen featuring Michael Schlank (Part 2)
In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Gal Swisa Cohen continues his discussion with Michael Schlank, Executive Director of the Sid Jacobson JCC, diving deeper into leadership, resilience, and rebuilding in times of crisis.
Picking up where they left off, Michael shares what it really takes to lead an organization through uncertainty, stepping into NJY Camps during COVID when there was no roadmap, no stability, and trust needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. He opens up about the importance of listening before leading, why honesty matters more than having all the answers, and how small, consistent actions can restore confidence in even the most challenging environments.
This episode explores the human side of leadership, the power of community, and the idea that true impact is built over time, not in moments, but in steady, intentional progress.
A thoughtful and inspiring continuation of a journey defined by service, adaptability, and purpose.
