When you hear the word home, what do you think about. Is it a certain place where you feel safe, welcome, and like you belong. Or is it surrounded by people you love and who understand you on a deeper level than anyone else.I would bet each of you pictured a different image of home just now. That's because home can mean many things. It may not be the physical house that you sleep in every night. It may not be a place where your biological family resides. It may instead be a dinner table with your chosen fam ...

I'm from a farm in southern Manitoba. Here's a photo of it back in 1982. I was just out of high school and this picture was taken.This picture was taken by a spy satellite that nobody even knew existed at that time. It was a cold war era keyhole spy satellite that belonged to the US government. And they spent most of their time taking pictures of the USSR and China.But even back then, for whatever reason, that day, they were taking images of southern Manitoba. An executive order by Clinton in 1995 declassif ...

I would just like to take this time to acknowledge that 15 years ago, I failed my first year of university and I'm still here. [applause] [applause] At the time, I didn't know I had a learning disability. I just knew that overnight I was marked as someone who didn't fit the model of success. I share this with you to show that I'm no stranger to being at the edge. And today I'm here to discuss the queer joy that can live at the edges. I mean, as a disabled queer matey person who was homeschooled, like come o ...

Suck it up. Don't be soft. No pain, no gain.Tough it out. By a show of hands, how many of you have heard these or similar phrases in sport, right. Me, too.I've seen how these words have become the soundtrack of sport, and I've heard them echoing through locker rooms. When I work with athletes, I see them internalize these words, shaping how they think, feel, and perform. In sport, relentless toughness is often glorified, while struggling with setbacks is often seen as weakness.But what if the culture of spo ...

Okay, I know we just started 2026, but just for a moment, let's dial back the clock to Christmas Eve 1968. I I know, right. Wood paneling, shag carpets.I I get it. I'm seven years old and I'm standing in front of a grainy black and white TV screen. And on that screen, three astronauts are wishing me merry Christmas from, of all places, the moon.I was in absolute awe. This was the Apollo 8 mission, and it was the very first time that we had flown beyond Earth's orbit. And here's the thing, their navigation c ...

When I left school, I moved to Washington DC to start my dream career in technology policy. I began as an aid on Capitol Hill and rose to be deputy chief of staff at the Treasury Department. But when my oldest son was about three years old, I hit a wall.It was that classic dilemma. I felt like a terrible employee and an even worse mother. I made a decision that shocked my colleagues and me.I quit. Leaving my career, being without a job was devastating. I was dependent for my income and my health insurance.A ...

My name is Kay Worry and I am indeed a speech language pathologist and um I'm so honored to be here with all of you. I'm here to talk about something deceptively simple. I'm here to talk about your breath and your voice.The breath and the voice is something that most of us have been with since the moment that we were born. And most of us don't recognize its power until it's lost. My personal relationship with my voice, I think, started in about 1978.I was born in 74. I was about three or four years old. And ...

What if the reason we struggle to take better care of the spaces and planet entrusted to us is because we never learned how to properly and consistently take good care of ourselves. We tend to define sustainable living by what we can build and harvest. Smarter cities, stronger systems, renewable resources.But really, do we ask what sustains the people doing the building and maintaining for life and living to be sustainable. In 2020, my family and I started a garden. It was about a month into lockdown and my ...

Bună seara și bine v am găsit și regăsit. Mă bucur să revin acasă. Aici am copilărit până la 34 de ani. Vreau să le mulțumesc organizatorilor pentru invitație. Ioana, mulțumesc mult.
