History is not simply a chronology of events that happened in a particular order. History is a meticulously curated phenomenon of power. How history is created -and who gets to tell that story- has one of the most significant impacts on our society. But we never talk about it. In this talk, we’re going to! We will explore how history is constructed and how we can use that knowledge to create the legacy for which we want to be remembered. We will learn about the roles of presence and absence in history-making and how those who leverage those roles often control power. We will also discuss practical ways in which we can all reclaim our personal agency and drive the narrative that will become our lives, our families, and our society. Learning Objectives: + Discover the secrets to history-making that have remained unchanged for centuries. + Learn how to actively write your own story in the way you’d wish to be remembered. + Take-away four techniques to help harness the power of your own story."
