“Rebranding the Wisdom of Experience – You Are More Important Than You Think”

Our culture is rife with social anxiety. Pandemic isolation has taken its toll. People are hurting, and they are anxious. The way to communicate has changed. Social media is quick and easy. People are complex and full of history, trauma and emotion. Having the quiet, empathetic skills to understand and slow down an emotion driven event can often change a bad day into a good one.

Guest Speaker, Lieut. Ray Hassett (ret) will share methods with attendees to help gain ability, and a better understanding of emotional awareness, and how this awareness can be applied to better manage critical, and not critical situations in everyday life.
