KEYNOTE TOPIC: Who Would You Be Without Your Title?
Who are you when your grades, job, achievements, and labels are stripped away? In this thought-provoking keynote, Duncan challenges participants to discover who they are beyond what they do. Through powerful stories and practical resilience strategies, they’ll learn how to overcome setbacks, build unshakable confidence, and reconnect with the version of themselves that adversity can’t take away.
BREAKOUT TOPIC: You’re Being Bullied… By Your Own Mind: Resilience 2.0
What if your biggest bully isn’t another person? What if it’s the voice in your own head? This interactive session helps participants recognize the thinking traps that keep them stuck, learn to respond instead of react, and build an inner voice that creates confidence, resilience, and better decisions under pressure.
