During the conference, members learned about four main growth aspects, which include mental, emotional, physical and social. Members thought about ways to achieve maximum growth, realizing that to do this, not “stepping out of your comfort zone” wasn’t an option. Socially, our members knew that they needed to grow in ways of communicating.
“Growing as a speaker and interacting socially is a great way to get our FFA and community members active and excited to work together,” Helterbrand said.
The members were taught to try to solve problems by making the best compromise and respecting each person, mentally and emotionally. Finally, members were taught to focus on physical growth.
Now, as members return from this conference, they say they feel better about themselves and look forward to growing and becoming a better person and leader.
“The 212/360 Conference was an eye-opening experience,” Brown said. “Learning about ways to maximize my potential and start to grow in ways I never thought possible was awesome. I am so glad I took the opportunity to go to this conference.”
