Meet Your Speakers for the Personal Transformation Competition
Jun 02, 2023Transformation is not about improving, it's about letting go of everything that isn't you - and becoming who you were meant to be.
Join us on June 27th live in Toronto at Lula Lounge for Speaker Slam®, a transformative evening of inspiration, as 10 extraordinary people take the stage to share their powerful stories of Personal Transformation.
Life is a journey, and along the way, we all encounter obstacles and challenges that can make us question our path. But what if those challenges were actually opportunities for growth and transformation? What if we could harness the power of those obstacles to become stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before?
At Speaker Slam, you will hear from speakers who have done just that - who have taken their struggles and turned them into triumphs. They have faced adversity head-on, and through their perseverance and determination, they have transformed their lives in ways they never thought possible.
You will be inspired by their stories of courage, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of their dreams. You will learn how to tap into your own inner strength, and how to use it to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
