Keynote Title: "7 Tiny Tweaks That Lead to Jumbo Amounts of Joy"
Bio:
Known as "The Joy Seeker", Lisa Dimino White has over 20 years of experience in marketing and communications management. She now focuses solely on her passion - inspiring others to actively seek out and create more joy for themselves, their communities, and all of humankind. She believes that most people are pretty darn amazing and too often don't recognize their own greatness. She’s on a mission to change that. We all have struggles, but they don't define us. No matter what challenges we’re faced with, there's always joy to be found - if we know where to look. In addition to her Amazon best-selling book “Bursting with Happiness”, she shares her joy strategies via her two podcasts, speaking to groups and organizations all across the globe, and through her work as a certified professional coach. Her biggest bursts of joy are her husband of 22 years Jonathan and her two kids, David (14) and Catherine (10). Learn more about Lisa at www.thejoyseeker.com
