Keynotes
DAY ONE: Heidi Hamm, National Afterschool Association
Even a year later, the world continues to buzz with news about megastar Taylor Swift and how she structured her record-smashing concert tour as a chronological exploration of the chapters in her career. Eras--Taylor Swift isn’t the only one who has them. All people do. Inspired by this pop phenomenon, together, we’ll explore the eras and markers of an Out of School Time career journey, remember the past, honor the present, and set the stage for the future. Join the journey, identifying key moments that shaped you and envisioning how you can build on your strengths to make an impact through a mapped career in OST.
Keynote Follow Up with The Flourish Lab Your Why- Staying Connected to the Heart of Your Work: Creating supporting environments for young people starts with the adults in those spaces. The Flourish Lab is an experiential learning series designed to positively shift the way adults show up for young people.
Whatever your reason for working with young people, your WHY matters. You may want to make a positive impact your community. You may want to pay forward the impact of a positive adult in your life. You may want to teach invaluable life lessons. When we’re able to hone in on WHY we work with young people, we’re able to have a bigger impact in the work we do. Come discuss why you do the work that you do and how it can keep you grounded in what matters most, especially when things feel hard.
Discover...
• your WHY
• the value in knowing your WHY
• strategies for keeping your WHY alive
DAY TWO: The Flourish Lab, Presence: Showing Up Matters
Being truly present means consciously choosing to show up with a heightened level of awareness. And it matters bigtime! Positive or negative — the choice is always ours, but either way, count on a ripple effect. Once we understand that our adult actions and attitudes have a direct impact on the youth we serve (and all who support them), we can choose to show up differently.
Discover…• mindful strategies for showing up positively• the ripple effect of adult attitudes & behaviors• how your presence impacts relationships
