Shannon shares about her experience bringing the Humanity First Model into her community, emphasizing how awareness of who we are and intention in how we show up in the world helps us feel stronger, more connected, and more effective.

Together, they explore the central role of community in the Humanity First Model and discuss how the Mutual Learning Method supports putting these principles into practice. To learn more about Leading for Children’s Humanity First Model, visit our website here.

A Quote to Take Away: Shannon Bracamonte shared, “How do you want to be in this world and how do you want to inspire or impact others through your modeling and how you interact with them? You can interact with kindness, you can interact with respect, and we can have perspective-taking––agree to disagree and still have a connection based on this conversation—and I think that’s so important.”

Thanks for listening!
