I will be returning to the Osage Community School District for a two day event. 

Day one: I will be conducting a teacher learning session entitled: Culture-Environment-Emotions:  The stuff we can’t measure, so leaders run from it like it’s the plague

Day two: I will be working with the middle and high school students in two different sessions entitled: At Risk? At Risk Of Being Awesome!:  How survivors have the potential to change the world

I will be presenting a key note address and a break out session with the young men and women of Wisconsin's DeMolay. The Keynote is Share Emotions, Emotions Matter, and the break out session will be Your Choices Define You. Sheboygan, Wisconsin here I come.
