Jim Hennessey shared thisAs I wrap up a year in the New Sector Alliance Leadership Longevity Fellowship, I've been reflecting on one question that was written on a whiteboard during our final retreat: "Are you worth my pour?" It wasn't really about time. It was about attention, energy, presence, and intention. This fellowship taught me that leadership isn't about pouring yourself into everything or everyone. In many ways, it was a year of unlearning—letting go of the belief that being needed, busy, or exhausted is what makes us effective. As I leave this experience, I want to be more intentional about where I invest my attention, the relationships I nurture, and the work that truly aligns with my values. Because what we choose to pour into ultimately shapes who we become. "Are you worth my pour?" feels like a question I'll keep asking long after the fellowship has ended. #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipLongevity #IntentionalLeadership #NonprofitLeadership #PersonalGrowth

Jim Hennessey shared thisAs I I head to the final convening of my Leadership Longevity Fellowship with New Sector Alliance this week, I’ve been reflecting on the past year and its impact. I came in expecting to learn new tools and strategies to become a better leader. I did—but the most important growth has come from unlearning. I’ve been unlearning the belief that leadership means having all the answers, carrying everything alone, or equating exhaustion with commitment. I’ve also been learning to let go of the need to fully map the path before taking the first step, and instead lead with curiosity, better questions, and shared ownership. This shift hasn’t always been comfortable, but it has been deeply transformative. I’m grateful to the facilitators who created a space for honest reflection and vulnerability, and to my cohort of AMAZING nonprofit leaders across the country. Your insight, generosity, and support made this experience truly meaningful. As we close this chapter, I’m leaving with more than leadership lessons—I’m leaving with community, clarity, and a renewed vision of what leadership in the nonprofit sector can be.

Jim Hennessey shared thisFive years ago, I was given a second chance at life through the incredible gift of organ donation. Every year, the amazing team at Advocate Health Care Christ Medical Center hosts a celebration for heart transplant recipients and their families. It's always a meaningful reminder of how fortunate we are and a chance to celebrate the lives, memories, and milestones that wouldn't have been possible without our donors. Next month marks five years since my heart transplant. I'm grateful for every day, every memory, and every moment this gift has made possible. Most of all, I'm forever thankful to my donor, Nic, and to his family. Their generosity changed my life in ways words can never fully express. I carry that gift with me every single day. #donatelife #hearttransplantrecipient #hearttransplant

Jim Hennessey shared thisThis week I was reminded that the impact we have on others doesn't end with the people we meet. It ripples through families, communities, and generations in ways we'll never fully know. I never had the chance to meet my husband Marshall's mom, Kitty. She passed away when Marshall and his brother were just 14 years old. Yet every time we visit Carthage, Missouri, someone has a Kitty Estes story. A former student. A colleague. A friend. She was a teacher who clearly invested in people, and decades later they still remember her with gratitude. Today we visited one of the schools where she's honored with a memorial bench. Sitting there with Marshall, I realized that Kitty has shaped my life too—even though we never met. As leaders, colleagues, and friends, we often wonder whether the small moments matter. They do. The encouragement we offer, the standards we set, the kindness we show, and the belief we place in others become part of someone else's story. And those stories continue long after we're gone. It's a humbling reminder that our greatest legacy may not be what we accomplish, but who we help become who they're meant to be. #leadership #nonprofitmarketing #nonprofitleadership #kindness

Jim Hennessey shared thisAs my Leadership Longevity Fellowship with New Sector Alliance enters its final weeks, I've found myself reflecting on just how much this experience has shaped me over the past year. To say it has been transformative would be an understatement. I've had the privilege of learning alongside an incredible group of nonprofit leaders from across the country. Together, we've explored leadership, wellbeing, resilience, and the impact we can have within our organizations, our communities, and our sector. One of the most important lessons I've learned is that becoming a better leader wasn't about changing how I lead as much as it was about unlearning some of the habits and assumptions I had carried with me for years. I've learned to be more intentional. I'm learning to talk less and ask more questions. I've learned that I don't need to have all the answers to help a team achieve meaningful outcomes. And I've been reminded that leadership isn't about being the smartest person in the room—it's about creating the conditions for others to do their best work. There are still a few weeks left in this journey, but I'm grateful to New Sector Alliance, my fellow Fellows, and everyone who invested their time, wisdom, and support throughout the year. The lessons will stay with me long after the Fellowship ends. Thank you, New Sector Alliance. And thanks to Rodrigo Levy and everyone at Code Platoon for supporting me over the past year. #Leadership #NonprofitLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #NewSectorAlliance #LeadershipLongevityFellowship #NonprofitProfessionals #ContinuousLearningJim Hennessey shared this🌟 Fellow Spotlight: Jim Hennessey.

Jim Hennessey liked thisJim Hennessey liked thisIt started with a cold call. My last day in the Navy after 12 years of service, one fellowship, and this summer I accepted an offer at Microsoft as a Senior Product Manager. The path here wasn't a straight line, and it definitely wasn't a solo effort. To everyone who was part of this journey from fellowship to full time, thank you! Code Platoon built my technical foundation. It's a non-profit that trains veterans and their families into tech careers, and I showed up knowing how to run programs and left knowing how to build software. Francisco Avila, thank you for the instruction. Special thanks to Corsair Platoon for being an awesome group of people. Our class was the first to receive AI training at the program, and it's already paid dividends. The Navy gave me everything else. Twelve years of leading teams, making decisions with incomplete information, and owning the outcome. To the Sailors, Chiefs, and Officers who shaped how I lead, thank you. You taught me more than any course could. Different mission now, same fundamentals. FourBlock gave me the building blocks for the transition and runs a program every transitioning veteran should know about. Hiring Our Heroes opened the door. Rob Comer, thank you for guiding me through the application process and helping me lock in a fellowship in under two weeks. And to the HOH team and alumni organization at Microsoft, James Becker, Dennis E. D., Jonathan Nedik, MBA, PMP, Tu T., Pat Mahoney, Brad McNatt, POPM, and team, thank you for building the onboarding process and for the sound advice throughout the fellowship. BreakLine, Rich Luby, Katherine Byrnes, Peter Coppernoll, and Amy Coppernoll, MPA were my core interview prep. Thank you for the reps and for helping me learn how to tell my story in a language this industry understands. To the teams I worked with during my fellowship, thank you for the opportunity and for letting me contribute from day one. Bryce Milton and the compute team welcomed me in and gave me advice I'll be using for years. Matthew D. Carroll, thank you for the chance to prove myself, and for offering me the role after I did. I learned a lot from our 1:1s about navigating the corporate landscape. Brandon Klein and Michael P., thank you for mentoring me through all of it. Mike, it meant a lot having you as the presiding officer for my Reserve oath of office. And that cold call at the top? That was Michael Poce. So for every transitioning veteran reading this, don't count yourself out. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Lastly, thank you so much to my wife, Caroline Joewono. A veteran who made this same transition to tech before me, and my best source of insider knowledge on how to do it right. Couldn't have done this without you. If you're in the middle of your own transition, reach out. Leverage the resources out there for your transition. Happy to help however I can.

Jim Hennessey liked thisJim Hennessey liked thisWe spend a lot of time talking about how long we’ll live. 💫A better question is: What do we want to be doing in our 70s, 80s and 90s? Traveling the world. Continuing to do meaningful work. Getting down on the floor with our grandchildren. Carrying our own suitcase. Saying yes to the hike. Every one of those moments begins with the same foundation: movement. That’s why I loved sharing these simple physical longevity tests on PIX11! They offer practical insight into the strength, balance and mobility that support healthy aging, and remind us that these are all skills we can continue building throughout our lives. It was such a joy to join @marysolcastro and @Ben aaron on #NewYorkLiving at @PIX11News to walk through four of my favorites. Marysol and Ben, thank you for making it such a fun conversation. And a special thank you to Felicia Miller-Stehr for thinking of me, producing such a thoughtful segment and making the entire experience such a pleasure.

Will older donors engage with AI? It’s a question that many organizations are asking themselves as AI becomes central to advancement strategy. The data is clear: donors between the ages of 50 - 72 not only engage with AI, but engage at higher rates. Autonomous Fundraising is the sweet spot to deepen relationships and fuel revenue growth from older donors — donors who hold the most giving power of any generation. https://lnkd.in/e2hEXWsQ
