Keynote 
Own Your Shift: Turn Your Season of Change into a Season of Possibility

We are all experiencing unprecedented change in our lives, work and in the world. The compound effect of all this change is causing extreme burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, and fear of the unknown. But what if instead we lean into change and utilize these transitions as a vessel for what is possible?

Tiffany’s Keynote will challenge the audience to dig deep as they explore  personal, professional, and societal seasons of change. 

Attendees will walk away from Tiffany’s talk knowing how to:

• Become resilient in times of transition 
• Step boldly into the unknown with curiosity and confidence
• Access the greatest technology of all–their Body and Brain to move past fear, burnout, and unlock their true potential in times of disruption
• Use change to propel their lives, leadership and work forward. 

Tiffany will take the audience on a journey of re-discovery, helping them move through the blindspots of who they are and what they need in order to overcome the pitfalls of change, step into a place of possibility and move confidently into the next season of their life and work.

We know that change is inevitable, give your audience the gift of thriving no matter what!
