Lunch Speaker: 

"Something Greater is Always Possible" with Devin Henderson (www.devinhenderson.com).

What would you do and who would you be if you believed anything was possible for you?  For many people a once-held vision of unlimited possibility gets small and limited as a result of life's daily stressors, persistent insecurities, self doubt, isolation and even failure.  But, what if you could reclaim and even expand your full potential at anytime?  And, what if your truest potential was bigger, richer and more satisfying than you had previously envisioned?  Join seasoned speaker and performer, Devin Henderson for an entertaining, funny, and inspiring experience to break free of your perceived limits and realize your greatness like never before.

You'll learn how to:

  • Rethink the Impossible
  • Dream Bigger
  • Attain a seemingly impossible goal without getting in your own way or giving up
