Conference topics:
Be The Difference: Belonging is the Support We Need
What determines if an individual is a “success” story or a “cautionary” tale? Is it talent? Is it resilience or grit? Is it simply luck? Gaelin Elmore knows that stories of caution and success have more things in common than we’d care to admit. He knows because he lived it. Mr. Elmore’spowerful story has motivated and inspired thousands, but instead of using his story to focus on “success,” he uses it to shed light on the importance of belonging and “support.” Throughout this keynote, attendees will be challenged and inspired to be individuals who CARE about belonging, because belonging is ‘the difference’ between a story of success and a tale of caution.
Attendees will learn:
- The fundamental difference between stories of “success” vs tales of “caution”
- The transformational power of belonging
- How to support others using the CARE model
The Belonging Need: Understanding belonging to go from surviving to thriving
Belonging is a crucial, innate need that influences our daily decisions, motivation, problem-solving, and overall well-being. Genuine belonging fosters resilience and positive health outcomes in us, and those that we serve. This workshop addresses the power of belonging through the 4-directional model; internal, horizontal, vertical, and external. This workshop will empower participants to embrace belonging and bridge the gap for others while offering a fresh perspective and intention for impactful work.
Attendees will learn:
- Why belonging is a fundamental need for everyone
- How belonging impacts development
- Why belonging matters in the workplace
- And how belonging allows us to successfully serve in our roles
