1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Using Lived Experience to Shape Your Future
  • Using one’s lived experience can be a powerful asset both in the business world and personal life. In the business world, it allows individuals to approach challenges with a unique perspective, having navigated through diverse situations and learned valuable lessons along the way. This can lead to more creative problem-solving, stronger leadership, and better decision-making skills. In personal life, lived experiences foster emotional intelligence, resilience, and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. This enables better relationships, improved communication, and the ability to handle life’s ups and downs with grace. Ultimately, lived experience enriches both professional and personal growth, creating a balanced foundation for success. Emma White will share her personal story of overcoming suicide as a teenager and how she has been able to use her story for good-both in business and in life.
