Everything is Contagious
Friday October 9, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am PDT
Stop talking about what you want to do and start doing what you want to do, the time is now. We’re going to dive deep, we’re going to get personal, we’re going to make some changes. You’re going to walk away with strategies that will help you focus on what’s most important, and a plan to implement those strategies with your team for bigger results! You’re going to laugh, you’re going to think, you’re going to be challenged, you’re going to realize that you have what it takes, who’s ready!

Relationships Matter Most
Friday October 9, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT
Relationships are the foundation of everything, especially in environments like schools, workplaces, and communities. When trust and connection are strong, communication flows more easily, collaboration improves, and people feel more seen and supported.
We’re going to laugh, maybe cry, and of course dig into some strategies to build stronger relationships so we can all be better for ourselves and our organizations while having higher job satisfaction. Let’s go!
