Two concurrent breakout sessions are available to attendees:

Track 1: Tap Into Your Resilience and Wellbeing

This breakout gives you the opportunity to awaken awareness about how to tap into your individual capacity to thrive and be resilient. At every moment we are being and becoming and we can open and lift ourselves to new perspectives, capabilities and wisdom — enhancing our internal operating system to lead with greater impact.

Resilience is one of 19 psychometrics of overall wellbeing. This workshop will introduce you to a framework that facilitates personal wellbeing and leadership — life vision and purpose, engagement and flow, stress coping and resilience, energy management, mental and emotional wellbeing, learning and wisdom. You will understand your top line pulse awareness about how you are currently activating your individual wellbeing leadership. You will have the opportunity to identify a personal goal contributing to your ability to thrive, be resilient and learn a practice that would help you realize that goal. We all have an innate capacity to thrive and evolve — tapping into that capacity is vital to lifting our personal fulfillment, leadership effectiveness and positive impact.

Featuring:

Dianne M. Culhane
Transformational Leadership Coach and Guide

Track 2: The Art of Branding and Personal Networking

Everyone has a personal brand. Can you describe yours? In our time together, we will talk about how to develop your personal brand and why it’s so powerful. Stories of branding and re-branding will be shared. You’ll see how to apply your personal brand for more effective networking. Being your authentic self will enable you to build better networking relationships, expand your perspective and improve the odds of achieving your personal goals.
