Ilana Tolpin Levitt: Keynote Speaker and Workshop Coordinator

IT’S STORYTIME! Everyone has a STORY.. Which one are you going to tell?

Focusing on what you do best and why you do it is the foundation of career and professional development. Everyone has amazing strengths as well as a journey that brought them to their current place. The road often has bumps, twists, and turns and is not a straight path. The stories we tell ourselves as well as the ones we share with others have a significant impact on outcomes. Understanding our weaknesses as the flip side of our strengths is key to success. This talk will help participants learn how to present their best selves while being authentic and transparent. Gain practical tips and relevant solutions to story tell with confidence for any interview or job talk.
