Workshop 1

“How to Build Your Brand and NOT Mess it Up on Social Media”

Facilitator: Stephanie Humphrey
In this workshop, students will be coached on how to determine their personal brand and have the opportunity to develop and present an elevator pitch. They will gain an understanding of how their digital footprint can affect that brand, and the potential consequences to maintaining a negative digital footprint. Students will also get content strategy direction and see examples of positive brand management online.

Workshop 3

“Accepting What Is”

Facilitator: Rev. Erika Allison
How do we deal with people and situations we don’t like but can’t change? Some strategies just create more harm and stress within our bodies and our nervous systems. We can learn healthy ways to cope with challenging situations and people so we are free to show up unshakably in our authenticity and our power. In this workshop, we’ll explore what the brain scientists, therapists and even the spiritual gurus say about acceptance, and why it matters. You’ll learn the acceptance-first mindset to deal with challenging people or situations so you can more accept the things you cannot change with peace and change the things you can with power.

Workshop 4

“Strength in Numbers”

Facilitator: Tim Stafford
Alliances, Allyship and the Buy-In.

We are creatures of habit. We go with the flow and do our best to not rock the boat. When we do that, we often leave others behind. Change, for better or worse, can be an uncomfortable experience. How can we change our habits and ways of thinking so that success is available to everyone in our school community? In this workshop we will talk about ways to bring folks together, uplift those who have been left behind, and how to make our schools bigger, better, and stronger.
