Integrity: Catalyst to Being the Architect of Your Life
When most of us hear about integrity, it is often mentioned through a moral or dualistic lens: right/wrong, good/bad. What if integrity wasn't about any of that? What if integrity was simply one's relationship with one's word – what you give your word to, and recognizing the true power which already lies within you? In this session, see integrity from a completely different perspective; one that will jumpstart your life into identifying your purpose with clarity. You will also learn how to attract others who live with vision as well, creating a life of power, freedom, and peace of mind in aspects of your life - be it school, personal relationships, or career goals, providing you with new ways to be the architect of your life.

It's a Small World After All
For thousands of years man's search for God / Self has led down many pathways. The result has been the enormous diversity of religious expression found worldwide. It includes the endless variety of Hinduism, the emptiness of Buddhism, the self-control of Jainism, the harmonious approach of Sikhism, to the monotheism of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and to the oriental philosophies of Shinto, Taoism, and Confucianism. This presentation will highlight the similarities and philosophical differences of the world's major faiths.
