Featured Session: Love Your Tricky Brain and Unlock Your Greatest Leadership Gifts

Mar 10, 2025

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

After decades of research and thousands of hours of interviews, Morra Aarons-Mele discovered something unexpected: Many driven and successful people struggle secretly with their mental health. Maybe anxiety is your most loyal companion and your worst enemy. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, managing ADD or a brain that just works differently, and you’re feeling stuck. Maybe you feel like you need to hide who you really are at work. This session will help you learn to love your tricky brain and discover how to turn your perceived leadership weak spots into your greatest source of empathy, authenticity, and impact. The anxieties, the challenges, the emotional sensitivities that you've spent years trying to suppress are actually your competitive advantage - your hidden superpowers!
