Christina Martin

Full Description of Presentation: The biggest minority group isn’t actually what we think. The biggest minority group we have is people who are actually, whole heartedly, happy with what they do every day and inspire others to do the same. In this talk, Christina creates a deeper understanding of the human experience, with or without diabetes, dissects how to develop more effective strategies as a leader, and helps audiences understand their own 'whys' so that they can build trust with the people they serve and live fulfilling lives. The ultimate goal of this talk is to help each person join the minority group of fulfilled people, so that as a community, we can begin turning the happiness minority into the happiness majority.
