Before You Speak: Navigating Hard Conversations with Courage & Compassion

with Jessica Cabeen of Christian Educators

As Christian educators, we are often called to courageous and sometimes difficult conversations with colleagues, students, and parents. But how do we engage in these moments with truth and grace? How do we align our words with our witness? This session offers faith-based principles to help you approach correction with humility and empathy, differentiate behavior from identity, and align your leadership actions with God’s Word.
