Closing Keynote: Dan Lerner

Passionately Successful: Making the Most of Happiness and Human Potential
What does it mean to be “successful” – not just in the traditional sense, but in ways that allow us to fully explore and realize our unique potential in education, work, and life? Trends in mental health and education – particularly during these past 18 months of COVID – clearly indicate that new approaches are needed, but perhaps the answers are right in front of us.
