WC 2016 Jul Courage Under Fire

We’ve all had that moment when we have talked ourselves out of speaking up because we were afraid we didn't know enough, or were worried about how others would perceive us. So how do you find the courage to push through that self-imposed sentence of silence? How do you decide when and how to speak up? And once you do join the conversation, how do you stay true to who you are, even as others seek to redefine you?

Join a discussion with Jessica Thomasson of Lutheran Social Services about finding your voice in the midst of a noisy world. She’ll talk about strategies for counteracting the fears and self-doubt that have the very unhelpful tendency to come from within in the midst of trying times, as well as her observations on what it means to be real in an environment where so much of our communication tends toward the superficial.
