Keynote: Becoming Better Grownups: Rediscovering What Matters and Remembering How to Fly
This keynote presentation will be based on Brad's book titled Becoming Better Grownups: Rediscovering What Matters and Remembering How to Fly – an inspiring and joyful read that weaves together lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness and dreams to revel the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly. Beautifully designed and featuring Montague’s own illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that–in a world that seems increasingly childish–the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike.
This talk was presented at:
2024 National ESEA Conference
February 2024
in
Portland, OR
