Thursday Night Keynote
do you even know me? how curiosity creates community
The opposite of curiosity is apathy. No organization wants its people to be apathetic towards its community because community ignites loyalty and drives retention. Events are ideal opportunities to authentically connect, reflect, validate, and innovate.
In this hysterical and motivational keynote, we will talk about how to ask better questions, change the way we hear people’s stories and insights, and adapt the mindset of curiosity.
Let’s stop the apathy and the assuming and start learning about each other, because curiosity creates community.
Friday Morning Keynote
leADERSHIP IS OVERRATED!
We get it... you're a leader! YAY! You worked so hard to get here, and now- you look in the mirror and don't even recognize yourself. This work is thankless, hard, and sometimes you've gotta be the bad guy. IT'S OVERRATED! And we never talk about it! Until Now. It's time to pull back the covers and take a hard look at leadership, the community we want to change, and fears we face. You wouldn't be here if you didn't want to do the work.
So buckle up and get ready to dive in, head first, with some strategies, some fun, and real talk about being a leader!

Get in Control!: Your Role in Making Fraternity and Sorority Life Great
So, now that you’re in a fraternity or sorority, life is great, right? But have you ever stopped to consider how your role in your chapter is making it truly great? Or worse, could your behavior be destroying it?
In her typical candid style, Michelle provides a wake-up call to those fraternity and sorority members who are coasting on their status or who are senselessly participating in destructive behavior, like hazing, abusive drinking, assault and poor academics.

Sunday Morning Keynote
Creating WTF (Willing to Fail) Communities
You spent the last several days learning and growing together, imagining new ideas for your role, and building community with one another. You’ve leaned in, challenged yourself, and want to bring all of this back to your campus to improve your community. Yet sometimes we stop ourselves before we even start.
Whether we are nervous about getting it wrong, only considering one facet of our community, or simply being complacent, it can be difficult to take that next step once we get back to our campuses.
Join us as we explore what to consider when creating community, along with exploring what we’ve seen work, and what we’ve seen implode, but most importantly seeing communities that are WTF (Willing to Fail).
