Be The Difference: Belonging is the support we need
Conference Theme: Keynote
Session Description
What determines if an individual is a “success” story or a “cautionary” tale? Is it talent? Is it resilience or grit? Is it simply luck? Gaelin Elmore knows that stories of caution and success have more things in common than we’d care to admit. He knows because he lived it. Mr. Elmore’s powerful story has motivated and inspired thousands, but instead of using his story to focus on “success,” he uses it to shed light on the importance of belonging and “support.” Throughout this keynote, attendees will be challenged and inspired to be individuals who CARE about belonging, because belonging is ‘the difference’ between a story of success and a tale of caution.
Session Objectives
Participants will
- Learn the fundamental difference between stories of “success” vs. tales of “caution.”
- Learn the transformational power of belonging.
- Learn how to support others using the CARE model.
