When Conversations Get Tough: Leading with Confidence, Trust and Purpose (Room 202 D/E)

Community and board conversations can quickly become challenging—especially when emotions run high and perspectives differ. This interactive pre-convention workshop will equip board members and administrators with practical strategies to listen effectively, navigate disagreement, de-escalate conflict, and engage their boards and communities in productive dialogue. Learn how intentional communication can build trust, strengthen relationships and keep the focus on what matters most—students and their schools.
