Everything you do has the power to create its own ripple effect.
Like an object breaking the water’s surface, our actions can cause a series of ever-expanding waves of impact stretching far beyond our individual reach. Most of us can easily relate to these words, but keynote speaker, Wendy Knight Agard, shares insight into the less obvious ways we can have a profound ripple effect and understand the dance between intellect, emotions and igniting our personal power. Part of a special lunchtime talk in partnership with CBC Ottawa and the National Arts Centre celebrating International Women’s Month.

By living your truth, you give others permission to do the same
