Lisa Pruitt, Saturday Night Keynote Speaker

Engineering an Authentic Life

This personal leadership forum examines the foundation for engineering a life with purpose and joy. We explore the power of introspection, reflection and visualization. Through introspective work we can find our authenticity, strengths and talents; hone self-awareness and emotional intelligence, identify our core values and zones of genius, and map out an actionable plan that integrates our time and energy to make way for a life aligned with our true north.
