🌍 At TechChange, we’re excited to travel to Nairobi, Kenya this week for this year's Global Digital Health Forum. Since we support and manage large scale in-person, #hybrid, and virtual events all over the globe, we know the value of being prepared. Here are some of our VP of Business Development Sheerin Vesin's top tips for making the most of attending an conference abroad: 1️⃣ Plan ahead: Review the agenda and identify key sessions. Sheerin likes to pick THREE "can't miss" sessions per day. 2️⃣ Network: Reach out to speakers and colleagues on LinkedIn in advance, and it'll feel like you already know them when you meet in-person. 3️⃣ Arrive early, leave later: It's tempting to book your travel on the first or last day of the conference, but Sheerin suggests allowing time for exploration and connection. 🌐What are your top tips? https://lnkd.in/e9j3Ku8a #GDHF2024 #GlobalEvents #ConferencePrep #DigitalHealth

🌟 Gratitude, Resilience, and Hope 🌟 As #Thanksgiving approaches, we're reflecting on the power of gratitude. Two of our inspiring Impact Coaches, Lauren Goldberg and Julia Firestone, shared their thoughts on what gratitude means for social impact leaders: 💬 Lauren: “Gratitude for the future is a game-changer. Embrace optimism, trust that good things are ahead, and find motivation in uncertainty.” 🌱 Julia: “Gratitude is about acknowledging how far we’ve come, both as individuals and as humanity, and appreciating the people and experiences that shaped us.” These reflections remind us that gratitude isn’t just about the past—it’s about embracing the future with hope. 🌍 If you're feeling stuck or uncertain, consider investing in yourself with coaching. It could be the next step towards achieving your social impact goals. 💡 #Gratitude #Coaching #SocialImpact #PurposeDriven #CareerGrowth https://lnkd.in/gA4JT6PW
