You're sitting across the desk from your teacher. The door is closed. Your evidence is ready. Your heart is pounding. Make your case — and listen to theirs — in the meeting that could change everything.
What started with the meeting just got more complicated. Now you need to prepare for and navigate face-to-face meetings with people who hold power over you — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Handling the moment when the authority figure pushes back or dismisses you — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
