DO LESS As A Life Strategy
Do you experience moments (or tidal waves) of overwhelm in your life? Does your life – physically and/or emotionally – feel cluttered? Do you wish you could do less but still be creative, productive, inspired, fulfilled, and awesome? It is possible. In this session, Christine Koh will share her exploration and implementation of doing less as a life strategy, and how it has paid off personally and professionally. You will be challenged to reflect on the why behind what you do, and given the tools to reassess and recalibrate your behavior to do less — and ultimately remove the clutter that may be getting in the way of finding your path to true awesomeness.

Living (and Embracing) the Best of the Life You Have Created for Yourself
If you ever think “How did I get here?” or realize after moments and events pass you by, that you can’t recall actually enjoying them, it might be time to force a new perspective, mute the noise around you (especially your smartphone) and ask yourself basic questions to ensure you’re living the life you wanted to live. This session will allow you to take a deep breath, question yourself, look at your priorities, evaluate what isn’t working and embrace what you have created for yourself.

Putting Purpose First: The Benefits of Working with Intention
Tyler Merrick
As Helen Keller once said, “True happiness…is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” Often times we make the mistake of starting something, of putting pen to paper, of launching a company, without defining our purpose. Finding himself disappointed when success left him unfulfilled, a business with purpose is exactly where Tyler Merrick identified his need of a course correction. This session encourages you to take a step back, or to begin again, this time with a clear purpose in mind. It will help you define your ‘why’ so that you have greater clarity on your ‘who, where, what and how.’
