KEYNOTE #3
SET UP FOR FAILURE, DESTINED FOR SUCCESS
Growing up as an undiagnosed neurodiverse female with ADHD, Dr. Eccleston frequently dealt with an influx of daily negative messages that led to struggles with mental health, self-worth and genuinely knowing who she was and what she was capable of.
​​
After several traumatic life events and years of feeling defined by who she was in her formative years, Dr. Eccleston stumbled into her ADHD diagnosis and the realization that she had much more to offer this world than she had previously realized.
​
Armed now with the knowledge of how our brain processes information and the tools to see life's challenges as learning opportunities rather than setbacks, Dr. Eccleston offers her audience insight on how to build resiliency through challenge while at the same time unlocking the unlimited possibilities for success that have always been inside you.

KEYNOTE #4
THE EXCEPTIONAL OUTSIDER
We all have something that makes us feel like an outsider. Maybe it's the way we see the world or unresolved experiences from our past. No matter what our quirks might be, we usually work really hard to hide them from others.
​
But what if our quirks were no longer seen as something to hide, but as something to be celebrated; something that makes us unique and stand out in a positive way?
