Real Models, Not Role Models

We don’t need more role models, we need more real models. We need to remember the power of authenticity and the power of vulnerability. Let’s make being real… ideal. Maybe we shouldn’t inspire others to be another version of us, but a better version of themselves. Being a real model is more powerful than being a role model.

Human Beings

We are not human doings but human beings, people can not connect with us because of what we do, they connect with us because of who we are – This is an awakening on the importance of prioritizing your happiness. If securing the bag means you are going to lose yourself – then you’re doing it all wrong. This keynote explores the importance of ensuring you are being fulfilled and not just functioning.
