The One Thing You Wish You Knew Sooner

January 9th, 2026 | Virtual via Zoom
In this 60-minute session, we'll explore the one thing that can transform the way we live and connect with others: understanding the impact we have on those around us. Whether in personal relationships, work environments, or casual encounters, the effect of our words, actions, and presence is far greater than we often realize.
Through reflection, storytelling, and practical insights, this presentation will encourage you to recognize your unique influence and show you how embracing this awareness can lead to deeper connections, better decisions, and a more intentional life.
