Delegates who arrived
early to convention had a choice to attend one of two pre-convention sessions
on Friday morning, April 25th.
- Laura
Katen, president of a NY-based training company shared strategies for
strengthening communication and building rapport with others; and facilitated
interactive exercises and discussions to help attendees more fully
understand, practice, and apply key techniques presented. There were numerous positive comments on how
the speaker’s remarks truly resonated with the members, and that Laura’s
presentation “was truly outstanding.”
- JP Pohl,
Teen Truth’s Executive Producer & Co-Founder challenged attendees to
think about how they treat others and empower you to find ways to be the
difference in your school community to prevent bullying. These sessions were
well received by attendees as evidenced by many comments, including the one
that follows:
“Heard (JC Pohl) speak and got
to see the video….This can potentially change and SAVE lives. It’s real, the
video has some raw moments from Columbine and it’s definitely not set up for
us here at the elementary level, but I will tell you what, my daughter WILL
see this movie and hopefully witness the tour (Teen Truth) when she is old
enough to process the footage and the reality of what went on there.”
