Then there is the way instigators, disruptors, troublemakers, and change agents do it. Those are the stories we highlight. We want to start conversations about new approaches to life’s opportunities and challenges. More importantly, we want to ignite small changes that have huge ripple effects. Don’t be normal. Don’t act normal. Don’t think normally. We challenge you to do something different today. Break your routine. Give when you would normally take. Pause when you would normally rush.We will have three sessions during the day.
