Swift Skills Collection: Build on Your Strengths
9:00 am - 10:00 am

When asked to recall important emotional events, a Harvard Business Review study found that people remember four negative memories for every positive one. Why do we focus so deeply on critique? This session will re-focus on our strengths, our skills, the things that make us who we are, and how to apply those in our work.
