Don’t worry, this conference is still for you!

Information shared will support all the ways we collaborate, communicate, and co-create. We’d also invite you to “rethink” your definition of team. The concept of teamwork is just as relevant with the people we contract with, volunteer or serve with, play sports with, and more!

“The kind of energy they were serving at that conference…I want it bottled up and out for purchase! Not only did I feel re-energized from the conference, but I took so much away that I instantly implemented with my team.”

Disclaimer…this is inner work and it starts with you.

Compassionate Conflict Resolution w/ Kate Zurn ›

When we’re in conflict with another person, we tend to make rapid, unflattering assumptions about them that impact how we show up, often to everyone’s detriment. This session will focus on the impact of these assumptions and how we can build curiosity and compassion to understand the other person better in the face of conflict.

Everyday AI: The Leadership Challenge to Balance Change & Compassion w/ Jennifer Olson ›

Each and every one of us interact with AI on a daily basis – whether we realize it or not!

Through personal stories and practical strategies, you’ll discover how understanding yourself can transform the way you lead. In this session, learn how a journey of self-discovery can help uncover your purpose, vision, and beliefs and equip you with the tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and authenticity—fostering both personal and professional transformation.
