Arnold Schwarzenegger, the son of a Nazi officer, is being singled out for his longtime advocacy 'against antisemitism and bigotry.'
“The first Award of Courage embodies all the lessons of the Holocaust, the spirit of educating and elevating humanity to fight hate in all forms,” explained Holocaust Museum L.A. CEO Beth Kean. “Arnold, by speaking out publicly, embodies our museum’s essence of inspiring humanity through truth.”
Melissa Rivers will emcee the 15th annual event, which will take place at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Also honored that night will be Gregory Annenberg Weingarten and Sandra Gerson Kanengiser. Annenberg Weingarten, an artist, director and vp of the Annenberg Foundation, serves as the founder of the org’s initiative GRoW @ Annenberg, which supports a broad range of projects and organizations that address social and cultural issues, meets urgent community needs and offers inspiration and collaboration. Weingarten directed a $1 million gift to the museum’s “Building Truth” campus expansion project.
Gerson Kanengiser, chair of the board and president of the Jack and Goldie Nomberg Foundation, a private foundation endowed by the estate of her maternal uncle, Jack Nomberg, a Holocaust survivor. Kanengiser’s parents Robert and Barbara Gerson also were survivors. In response to the rise in antisemitism, Kanengiser directed a $1 million grant from the Nomberg Foundation to support free educational tours for students at museum.

How to Give (and Receive) Critical FeedbackNew leaders often procrastinate difficult discussions at the expense of themselves and their teams. At the root of this feeling is usually a lack of experience and practice — both of which can be gained with intention and time. Here are two especially “spicy” conversations that all new managers face, and how to navigate them now and in the future: Giving Feedback to Direct Reports: You should be having regular weekly or biweekly one-on-one meetings with each of your team members to check in on their work and offer your support. This is a great time to share feedback (both positive and negative). When delivering critical or negative feedback, take a coaching approach. Instead of telling your direct report, “Hey, you filled this report out all wrong. I need you to fix it,” begin by giving them the benefit of the doubt and then offer them guidance. Receiving Feedback from Direct Reports: First, you need to create a psychologically safe space where your team members feel comfortable expressing thoughts, doubts, and perspectives without the fear of a consequence. You can do this by sharing vulnerably when the opportunity arises and openly appreciating team members who do the same. If people seem hesitant to approach you, directly ask for feedback and show your appreciation by taking it seriously when received. When a direct report expresses their opinions and frustrations, repeat back what they say to you to be sure you’re on the same page.
