Keynote:
Cultivating the Spirit to Work:
Assisting People through Change and Transition

“There lives in each of us an exciting, adventurous sense of the possible, a yearning to move forward into the unknown in order to embrace life in all its fullness.  This spark is divine and essential to human life.  Perhaps, above all else, that is what the journey of life and work is about – the unfolding of the human heart and the human spirit.”

~ Denise Bissonnette
