Feature Keynotes: 

Mark Ostach | Planting Seeds for Future Growth 

Regardless of the season you are in, there are opportunities to plant new seeds that can yield growth in the future! However, the biggest obstacle standing in front of us is where we focus our thoughts and often require us to shift our perspective. In this keynote message, Mark will discuss how to turn over the soil in your heart and mind to weed out bad habits and negative thinking. He will provide ways to create new routines that encourage self-care and help bring joy to our daily lives as we strive to make a difference in the workplace and communities we live in. You’ll be sure to leave with a newfound sense of hope for the future!
