How do your passion pursuits contribute to those strengths? Using his passions of drawing and Judo, Dr. Pennington pushes participants to uncover, discover, embrace and integrate their personal passions into the professional pursuits. He shares his drawings and lessons learned from over 50 years studying judo as illusrations of how they contribute to his growth and his effectiveness managing others, building collaboration, and accelerating the development of individuals, teams and organizations.

Drawing on the science, practice and power of authenticity, he encourages the audience to find ways to tell their story, to use their gifts, to discover their "why", and to enjoy the stories and passions of others.
