We had two incredible keynote speakers at our conference, Lacy Dicharry and LSU Gymnastics Coach Jay Clark! Here’s what inspired us:

“They want to see the humanity in you, so they feel safe to show the humanity in themselves. If I don’t take care of myself first, I don’t have it to give away.” Lacy

“A lot of times, leading fiercely is leading with empathy first. The gymnastics will take care of itself if we can learn to come together as people.” Jay
