How to Conquer Anything
Neal Glatt, Grow the Bench

Whether we seek positive change for our company, our team, or ourselves, we’re seeking to conquer something we haven’t done before. But the fear of the unknown, suffering setbacks or tragedies, and feeling depleted can prevent us from achieving our true potential. In this session, our speaker will share how transforming challenges into conquests is always possible, in an inspirational and actionable way that will equip you to dream big and accomplish your goals at work and in life. If you need to refresh your motivation, rediscover your purpose, or retool your approach, you won’t want to miss this session!
