Sample Talks

Unleashing the SuperHero Within

This game changing conversation/workshop is centered around the Super Hero that lives within all of us.

It begins with a very real and confronting (yet fun) look at the things that hold us back and why. From there we move into a discovery zone of how to transform these limitations into leveraging powers. The conversation/workshop leaves participants with a sense of wonder and awe: wonder of what other things/thoughts/people are holding them back and awe for what is possible.
