Our team had an incredible time at the FACE Conference! 🌟 Huge thanks to the Idaho Department of Education team for introducing us to so many inspiring people and ideas. From the creative minds behind Kid President Brad Montague and Napoleon Dynamite Sean Covel, to insightful authors like Marc Brackett, Ph.D (Permission to Feel), Sean Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens), and Michael J. Merchant (Leadership and Self Deception). We also heard from Superintendent Randy Jensen and leaders from the United Way of Treasure Valley. Truly a powerful experience. Thank you! 🙏✨ #FACEConference #Inspiration #Gratitude
