and Financial Literacy.
“If Monique’s dynamic presence alone wasn’t impactful enough, her words of wisdom that were clearly expressed with warmth, relatability, and humor, made her one of the most memorable aspects of the event. Monique entranced the audience with her passion for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and being a great wife and mom, while stressing the importance of self-care and balance. We are so thankful to have had Monique as a pivotal part of the Self-Centered conference and would be happy to have her back for future events.”

What struck me most was how thoughtfully such an extremely accomplished career woman communicated with her young audience. Monique shared very powerful personal and professional stories with such humility and kindness, and, judging by the girls' reflections following the session, it was evident that Monique's impact on the girls was quite profound. I, too still feel the effects of Monique's inspiring visit with us and I truly hope that many more groups will have the opportunity to do the same.

FORGED UNDER FIRE
Transformational Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Whether dealing with career setbacks, sexual assault, loss, or having limited resources, Murphy has found that transformational resilience is the skill necessary to thrive and not merely survive adversity. Leveraging Murphy’s life experience as detailed in her best-selling memoir-in-verse, Home For Hurricanes, Murphy shares the 4-step transformative process that helped her overcome adversity in its many forms.
LIFE ON PURPOSE
Design a Life You Love Now
For many, life just sort of happens. We end up in a career that has long ago lost its appeal, we are burdened with commitments and responsibilities, and if we have the energy (minus the guilt), we occasionally squeeze in something we enjoy. We disregard the longing for more purpose and fulfillment, deferring pursuit until someday when the circumstances are more ideal. What if we decided to pay attention to that longing, to take control of our lives and truly live our values? Let’s start designing a life you love now.
SOCIAL DISCOURSE
Art-provoked Courageous Conversation on Social Issues
Art provides a mirror for society and provokes reflection on challenging issues. This powerful session leverages poetry from Murphy's best-selling memoir-in-verse, Home For Hurricanes, to engage in courageous conversation around any of the topics addressed in the book: race, stereotypes, gender-based socialization, parenting, shame, trauma, mental health, faith. Participants will explore social issues, learn best practices for navigating these conversations, and gain understanding through peer-to-peer reflection.
DEMONSTRATE
Authentic Allyship for Social Justice
The events of recent years have birthed a heightened awareness around the issues of race, bias, systemic racism, and social justice. Many are seeking to support social justice in ways that feel authentic to them. Learn what authentic allyship looks like and the personal actions one can take to become an effective ally for the cause of social justice.
