Keynote Topics

The impact of the pandemic will be felt for generations worldwide. The current pace of change and ongoing cultural friction is creating an opportunity for difficult conversations around the virtual water cooler and our dinner tables.

Session snippets include;

  • Empathy does not require perfection; it requires authenticity and humility.
