The Room Where it Happens: Bringing All Stakeholders to the Table

To loosely quote Hamilton, we ALL want to be in the room where it happens. What does it look like when all the stakeholders ARE in the room where it happens, but not everyone knows? For anyone who saw the video of the school board executive session that was unintentionally streamed to the public, you witnessed one unfortunate outcome. What would it be like if we always spoke as if everyone was in the room? Or what if every stakeholder actually WAS in the room? Join the Mental Health Mamas as we talk about taking sides, positive partnership and building trust.
