Title: Be Uncomfortable, Be Better: How Discomfort Presents An Opportunity For Growth

🗓 Friday September 20th, 2024

🕐 9:15am - 10:15am

📍 The Flanagan Theatre

Speaker:

Jeremie Saunders, COO Snack Labs, Sickboy Podcast


Description:

Sitting down with hundreds of podcast guests for over an hour each and having conversations about their health issues and their most uncomfortable realities has taught Jeremie a huge and invaluable lesson – by allowing himself to become uncomfortable, he has become a more compassionate, empathetic person and a stronger leader. When something makes us uncomfortable, we do everything we can to avoid it. But what if we faced it head-on? What would we learn? How would we shift? Discomfort provides us with opportunities. Opportunity to learn. Opportunity to empathize. Opportunity to cultivate change. Opportunity to grow.
