2:45 pm To Boldly Go: Stepping out from Ordinary to Extraordinary
Ray McElroy, former NFL player
Average, ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things all the time. Have you ever wondered what separates those who experience success versus those who constantly find themselves falling short? What a person sees, what they say, and what they show in their actions are all telling factors in their ability to take their professional and personal lives to the next level. TO BOLDLY GO is a program that dives right into the heart of a person’s perceived reality, exposes the effects of negative self-talk, and inspires both organizations and individuals to create momentum towards greatness; daring to achieve, accomplish, and boldly go where others around them have never gone before!
4:00 pm Adjourn & Grand Prize Drawing
