You Need More Self-Trust” by Kimiko Donahue (Approved for 1 Hr. of General CE) – Ballroom 2\n\n This keynote takes on the belief that early-career agents simply need more time in the business before they can perform. Using NLP-based reframing tools and self-image science\, participants learn to spot the unconscious “rookie” stories driving their daily behavior and replace them with a professional identity grounded in self-trust — so they show up with the clarity and confidence that earns client relationships from day one.\n\n\n\n\n\n10:45-11:00AM- Activity: “Passport to Connections” – Ballroom 2\n\nBreak the ice and expand your network with our interactive Passport to Connections challenge!

The goal isn’t a clever script. It’s a pitch they can say out loud\, under mild pressure\, without freezing\, rambling\, or apologizing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease Note: Continuing education is only approved for P&C Licenses.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Your Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrystal Heard\n\n\n\n\n\nCrystal Heard is an Executive Advisor at Solomon and a recognized cybersecurity and technology leader with more than 29 years of experience driving impact at scale.
