Really looking forward to participating in this year’s @BreakThroughDLS Summit with @WeCOACH and @Hudl on Dec14-15! Such a fantastic opportunity to be part of important conversations and growth, learning from the best in the trade!

Follow this loving-kindness meditation to cultivate resilience. If you feel unmoored, lost, or pulled in different directions, take a moment to wish yourself peace, just as you’d comfort a friend. buff.ly/2YV0n4n
