Session - JOLT! Your Life
Presenter- Larry Long Jr. (aka LinkedIn Larry & your Chief Energy Officer)

Association professionals are constantly taking care of others. Members, boards, attendees, clients, sponsors and colleagues all need your time and attention. Add in nonstop emails, meetings, events, deadlines and constant change, and it can be easy to put your own energy and motivation at the bottom of the list.

So, where do YOU find the motivation to keep showing up with energy, positivity and purpose?

In this high-energy, interactive session, Larry Long Jr. challenges attendees to focus on the idea that “the little things are the BIG THINGS.” Through practical strategies, personal stories and reflection, Larry will help participants identify what matters most, reconnect with what motivates them and become more intentional about the energy they bring to their work, relationships and life.

Whether you’re leading an association, planning events, serving members or building relationships with clients, you’ll walk away with practical ideas for staying energized, connected and focused on what matters most.
