An Hour of Power - Opening Session with Lori Hart

3600 seconds. Sixty minutes. One hour to learn how to create impact and change within your community. While you expect a keynote speaker to present about leadership, integrity, authenticity, we are not going to talk about that. Let’s cut to the core on how you can influence change in your community: POWER. Using research and decades of experience, Dr. Lori Hart will engage participants in a deep dive on the role of power within relationships, communities, and organizations. Understanding and recognizing these power dynamics is crucial for fostering healthy relationships, and equitable societies. 3600 seconds just might change your approach to embrace the power within you to make a difference, to be a force for good and to leave a lasting impact!
