“We need both strategic clarity and emotional health for our movements to thrive. That’s the thing I’ve learned most from Yotam, and what I see be the downfall of many other organizations. I remember one time Yotam agitated me in front of the group about my leadership and taking myself more seriously. I don’t remember every word, but I remember the physical memory of it like it was yesterday. I felt like I was flying on wings and a huge weight had been lifted off of me. I wish more people had the chance to experience that. It’s part of what put me on track to help build Sunrise. “
