About the speaker

Rosalind has never felt like she had a job. Instead, she has been on a quest; to help people put words to experiences they struggle to articulate and bring dignity back into our families, schools, work, and communities. As a global thought leader, she speaks on leadership, conflict, communication, and youth culture. Read more here.

We look forward to seeing you on December 11th!
