KEYNOTE
Christine D'Ercole will discuss how words create our stories about ourselves and our capabilities. Oftentimes, we listen to the words in our heads on autopilot. A sentence may start with "I am," and end with something awful. This keynote session will focus on recognizing our inner dialogue, identifying the words that harm us and reframing stories to be in line with what we are truly capable of accomplishing.
