In the premiere episode of The Leading for Children Podcast’s second season, show producer Julia Connolly revisits highlights from a compelling conversation in Season 1, Episode 3. Hosts Judy Jablon and Nichole Parks are joined by Leigh Sargent, Preschool Development Grant Supervisor at the Mississippi Department of Education K-12 (at the time of this recording, Leigh was the Executive Director of the Tallahatchie Early Learning Alliance in the Mississippi Delta) for a discussion on the power of putting Humanity First.

Together, they explore the Humanity First Model, and dive into its core principles of connection, equity, agency. Listen in as Judy, Nichole, and Leigh discuss how centering humanity helps us realize our guiding belief that Stronger Adults = Stronger Children = Stronger Communities.

A Quote to Take Away: Leigh Sargent shared, “It’s about intentionally making decisions so that you can pour positive impact into those Children. They are our future, and if we want to change the outcome of what happens in the world, we're going to have to start pouring some humanity into our children.”

Thanks for listening!
