From building communities to teams empathy is indispensable. It’s simple but impact full. Talk will cover this aspect from personal, community and business perspective. Sharing personal and professional anecdote from community, business and friends/family.

Looking for the good things during bad times has become one of my survival tactics. Finding the good in bad situations – like looking for a phoenix rising from the ashes – has often helped me stay positive when it felt like the world was burning.

The last few years have felt a lot like that. From a global pandemic to flooding, supply chain issues, political unrest, war, event cancelations, and personal struggles, this has been a difficult time for many, if not most, of us.

We have pivoted so much and so often it has felt like we have constantly been reinventing ourselves, our businesses, and our community.

So what good things have I found since this all began? WordPress has been constant and consistent. I’ve discovered a deeper love for WordPress and the WordPress community that I ever imagined.

Join me as I share the good things that have come from a trying time, and how I think we can continue to move forward in a globally-positive, community-oriented way.

Have you ever been too ashamed to admit your current state of mind to yourself, your colleagues or your loved ones?
There is nothing EVER more important in life than your own health – both physical and mental.

There is a myth that we all have a destiny and that we know it from an early age. This is far from true for everyone. But it can be quite unsettling if you’re not part of that group, can’t it? Don’t envy these people!

There were many times when my path changed and when I had to break out of the life I was living to protect my health. It was only by taking a step back every now and then and reconsidering my personal choices and values that I became who I am today: a pioneer who loves new challenges and needs to reinvent herself from time to time to thrive. We’re aware change and stepping out of your comfort zone can be stressful and scary, especially when struggling with mental health issues. But everything you want is on the other side of fear!

In this talk, I’ll explain why taking a few steps back and finding out who you really are is important for your personal and professional growth. We’ll talk about how to re-evaluate your priorities and values, how to recognize when you need a break, and how to maintain your mental health status.
