Key-Learning

  • Recognizing the labels we apply to ourselves and others, and understanding what they mean.
  • A better way to respond to and use anxiety for our benefit.
  • Models to better understand ourselves.
  • Ideas to help improve ourselves.

“What do you do?” It’s a frequent first question asked at parties, networking events, and bad dates. And sadly, the answer often includes the word “just”. Perhaps a more interesting question is, “Who are you?”. But, how should you answer? Often, our identity is dominated by our professional image. However, even those that “live to work” have other facets which may contain hidden value.

In this keynote, Damian explores labels, anxiety, models, and more in order to examine our identities, explore our interests, and help us find value in unexpected sources. Through humor, improv, personal stories, examples, research, and pop-culture, this talk inspires and motivates while simultaneously providing practical tools to help you reevaluate Who You Are and Who You Can Be. Join him to laugh while you learn, as you “unjust yourself” and discover that everyone is More Than That!
