Keynote: Beyond Fear
Presented By
Sondra Nunez, DTM
International Director for Region 1
Fear is a powerful force. It can protect us-but it can also paralyze us.
During this presentation, you will be invited to journey with Sondra beyond fear-beyond the doubts that hold us back, the silence that keeps us small, and the boundaries we’ve drawn in our minds.
Together we will explore what lies on the other side of fear-and how stepping through it can lead to growth, courage and unexpected possibilities.
