How 3 Women with Mental Illness Impacted my Life for the Better

In this talk, Christine shares her experience of how three women with a mental illness changed the trajectory of her life for the better by helping her reshape the way she viewed those living with mental health issues. Instead of coming from a place of power over others, and wanting to help or fix people, she learned to look for the gifts and listen from a place of non judgement. This in turn allowed her to watch and listen for wisdom which framed her experiences and life’s mission.

Manuel Godoy

CEO, Black Sands Entertainment

Reclaiming African History

For decades, Western media has focused exclusively on the slave trade and American slavery/civil rights when showcasing African history. The few times they mention any ancient or medieval African Kingdom, they are shown as struggling, a servant-like system, or straight whitewashed. Having kids of my own, I understand the importance of having a legacy to look back on, separate from your immediate family.

For many white children, that is European heroes and kingdoms. Who hasn’t looked up to Hercules, Julius Caesar, Arthur, and other great heroes in western society? These people and their stories inspire white youth to seize opportunities and never look down on their beginnings, even if they have no parents. The goal of Black Sands Entertainment is to bring that sense of legacy to black youth in the mediums they know and love like comics, anime, film and more.

Unleashing your Leadership Potential: How to Thrive in a Changing World

Leadership has traditionally been regarded as a structured, hierarchical undertaking, with an associated emphasis on material rewards and outcomes. But as technology and neuroscience make advances, so too the practice of leadership must progress. In this talk, I will explore the transformational potential of leadership in 2023 and beyond, exploring how the conscious use of neuroscience, quantum physics, and technology can shape our leadership capacity – in ways that are meaningful, ethical, and profoundly effective. We’ll investigate how to bring a unique blend of technical skill and compassionate awareness to our leadership roles in order to maximize success. Finally, we’ll look to the future – and examine the myriad of possibilities available to us in utilizing the tools of these three disciplines in leading with greater clarity, confidence, and connection to our teams.

If The Walls Could Talk

Drugs and alcohol don’t kill. Mental health challenges don’t kill. Guns don’t kill. Silence kills. A person experiencing a substance use crisis- a person experiencing a mental health crisis – a person contemplating the abuse of power and violent acts with use of a firearm- all are having a conversation with themselves, that none of us know about. In fact we all go into a space to have the tough conversations with ourselves- where we handle life’s challenges alone; grief, losses, fear, pain, injury, confusion, and disappointment. A space where we beat ourselves up for ways we are insecure, for ways we cannot love ourselves, be forgiving of ourselves, and for ways we feel as though we are powerless, and we are not enough. We say things to ourselves in this space, which we vow to never repeat to another human being- not even our loved ones. If these walls we build in this space could talk, what would they say? Where is it safe to speak it? How does that conversation, begin? If these walls could talk- then and only then, are we truly breaking silence. In my talk, I will share the design and process for living on purpose and living out loud.

Faced with her own personal crossroads in 2008, Mary Lynn took the leap and found her purpose and joy had shifted from the corporate environment to helping others realize their goals and create the life of their dreams. 

She now uses her unique skill set to passionately enhance the quality of life for her clients, both professionally and personally, showing people how to create the best version of themselves, and a life they can love, as they increase their understanding and awareness of their true human potential. She also teaches them how to overcome roadblocks that may be preventing them from achieving dreams and goals.
