NO KNOWLEDGE IS EVER WASTED!: Connecting your life’s experiences to write your next chapter

You know more than you think you know! No knowledge or experience is ever wasted. Too often we hesitate to step out of our comfort zone to create our next chapter because we don't know how, we are afraid or we are unsure of how to connect the themes and patterns of our lives. What would any of us do if we didn't allow fear to stop us? Liz Brunner’s motivational message will guide you to connect the dots of your own life experiences to create your next chapter, personally or professionally, for intentional impact. Liz’s inspirational career journey from classroom to newsroom to boardroom to the stage as a keynote speaker will motivate you to discover what themes exist in your own journey, how to connect those dots, and how to break any patterns that may be holding you back from following your destiny and living your best life.
