If you’re like most people, January is a time of reflection. You’re rethinking old habits, revisiting old passions and trying to inspire yourself to do something awesome!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Pas•sion (noun): an intense desire or enthusiasm for something

Having passion is one thing. Actually pursuing your passion is another.

Most of us have more than a couple things we’ve dreamed of doing, but we often find ourselves being scared away by the challenges down the road. As the title may hint, this talk is about discovering what you’re passionate about and pursuing that passion (especially when things get tough).

Sometimes knowing the right questions to ask is just as important as knowing the answer. We will also talk about finding resources to help continue learning, where/how to ask the right questions, and why sharing your new pursuit with the community is critical!

In this talk you’ll:
• Discover how to learn something new
• Be Motivated to push past challenges
• Understand your plan of action
• Discover how to self-teach and the helpful resources available to you
• Learn how to get involved in a community
• Be Inspired to take the next step
