How can you get comfortable with change you didn't choose?
This session shares how my office on the 46th floor of the One World Trade Center on September 11th, changed my life, transformed my definition of success and gave me an in depth look at the sacredness of all life on earth.
When we experience traumatic experiences like war, bodily violations and unheard of violence, we transform what meaningless moments into grateful moments of life. We find all humans have so much in common, that we want the same things and that our life goals are only possible by prioritizing peace.

Quintero's debut memoir combines riveting storytelling, compelling insight, and triumphant lived experience to bring depth and meaning to one of modern times' greatest tragedies, and beyond. Raised by Ecuadorian immigrant parents in the Pacific Northwest, Quintero had always dreamed of pursuing her passions in the city that never sleeps. But she never imagined that experiencing the real life nightmare of one of the deadliest attacks on US soil would lead her down a path rich with history, heart, and all that it means to be human. Step, Step, Jump is named after the way her feet raced down the stairway of the Twin Towers on that fateful fall morning. It is also a life philosophy formed in the months and years that followed, a map for processing trauma and harnessing one's true potential.
