My Conference Keynotes & Presentations
Sharing research at a conference is like telling a story with wisdom and care.
Telling a story is like a mini tea group ceremony, an opportunity to learn to BE with others by living in the moment. One of the main purposes of telling stories is for the audience to enjoy them in an atmosphere distinct from the fast pace of everyday life. I find conferences to be safe spaces for storytelling,interactive learning, freedom of speech, creative debate, synergies, relaxation and friendships. And I like my tea herbal!
