Preconference Workshop

Y/Our Stories Matter
Sunday, February 23
8:30 a.m.—12:30 p.m. (includes breakfast)

Hear stories from Christina and Tazz on how our experiences shape us. Your stories matter. Our stories matter. How can our worst moments change our paths? How do we move forwards with the baggage we carry? When you didn't think you could go any further, what helped?
Join us for this one-of-a-kind interactive workshop where we explore how to develop and apply resilience in the face of difficulty. Willing participants will have an opportunity to share a story on which they would like some feedback. Learn the importance of standing up for yourself and to yourself.
