Welcome and Keynote - Paige Christie, Smith '15

Change can be scary and invigorating all at the same time. The amazing thing about change is that it is always possible. Change is always just one decision away.
But sometimes it can be hard to know when it&rsquo;s time to make a change. We can feel stuck, terrified or overwhelmed by our current situation, and this causes us to worry over whether it really is the right time to make a change.
Colleen will talk us through 5 signs you are ready for a change and some tips on how to start making a change in any aspect of your life!
There will be time at the end for a Q &amp; A with Colleen.&nbsp;

If you beat yourself up or hold yourself back, you're not alone! Learn techniques to overcome it and not let it take up your valuable time and energy. Our three presenters each have a GIFT for attendees at the end of the discussion!&nbsp;
