Pivot to Positivity

Saturday, May 18 | 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.

We all have experienced pivotal/challenging moments in our lives. When choosing positivity in these experiences, the joys of our reality far outweigh the negativity/sadness from the challenging time. During this presentation, Megan will share personal and professional stories where she could have chosen to sink, but she chose to focus on positivity and the results were incredible.
