    Mike Skrypnek - Raging River? GET HELP!!

    Mike Skrypnek lives in one of the most beautiful areas of the world in British Columbia, Canada. A year ago he found himself walking along the raging river near his home struggling to make a decision – should I jump in and end my emotional pain or continue my walk – for 10 days straight he took the same walk and asked the same question. He didn’t jump because of the pain it would cause his family. The love of his family kept him alive and eventually motivated him to tell his story of abuse and suffering from 40 years ago. The UNLimited Worth Project is his response to this trauma to help others overcome the subconscious limitations abuse causes in our life. Hear about his journey, his suffering and how he decided to break his silence, seek help and overcome his limits.

    Anna Lynch - Slow Down to Speed Up - Then Celebrate!

    Anna Lynch became aware, very early in her engineering career, that she approached the analytical world of structural engineering quite differently. Consider her mission: to help each employee be HAPPY while offering clients outstanding services in structural engineering. She does it with heart, connection and authenticity. Not once but twice her bosses came to work for her, by their choice, because of her leadership and commitment to the individuals she leads (SPOILER ALERT: One boss was fired, she was promoted and he requested she hire him back to work for her!). Her curiosity, personal awareness, and dedication to lifelong learning propelled her from engineer to manager to owner in just over a decade.
