“Since hearing Kristen’s keynote, I often find myself echoing her words: ‘Bring your whole self, because the world needs your whole self.’ Relevant advice for us all. So how do we unleash our power, our courage, and move toward the unknown? Through the principles of A Generous Heart, [with] solidarity, reciprocity and agency. My heart is still giving you a standing ovation. Thank you, Kristen!”
