9:15 am	Creating Your Own Rules for Success: How to Let Go of Perfect & Live Your Truth Heather Whelphey Do you feel like you can’t disappoint anyone? Have to say yes to everything? Aren’t allowed to fail – or even make a mistake? Have to be responsible for everything and take care of everyone? Need to change how you show up to match what a successful person is “supposed” to do? This was Heather’s story. And it left her overcommitted, burned out, and unsure of what she really wanted. She was on a constant hamster wheel, rushing around to prove herself over and over. Now Heather has a different story for herself – one that allows her to create greater impact with her work while experiencing more personal joy and freedom – and she wants the same for you. Through a seamless blend of heartfelt personal stories and practical tools, Heather will guide you to slow down, rediscover who YOU are and what YOU want, and write a new story for yourself. Key takeaways from this interactive keynote include: Understanding the rules you’re playing by now, where they come from, and if they still make sense at this point in your career and life Redefining success on your own terms Creating a new set of rules that align to your values, goals, and the impact you want to have

How can you build trust quickly? This keynote highlights the behaviors that we need to show up as a leader through our presence. The three pillars are connection, energy and credibility.
