What Matters Most: Aligning Your Priorities at Work and Home
Tuesday October 6, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am EDT
Cranberry III & IV
Do you ever feel like you're expected to be everything to everyone—all the time? Between constant emails, competing priorities, and the emotional demands of serving others, it's easy to spend your days reacting instead of leading with intention.

This keynote is more than a presentation—it's an interactive experience designed to help you reclaim your focus, your energy, and your peace of mind.

In a world where everything feels urgent, learning to distinguish what is truly important is one of the most valuable leadership skills you can develop. During this engaging 60-minute session, you'll discover practical strategies to identify your personal and professional priorities, establish healthier boundaries, and reduce the "soft chaos" that quietly drains your time, energy, and effectiveness.

You'll leave with a renewed sense of clarity, practical tools you can immediately apply, and a personalized action plan to help you lead, serve, and live with greater purpose and less overwhelm.
