A little shout out for a very cool event that I have the honour of being a part of!
I will be joining His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Day 1 of the conference at 9.45am in a forum named How do we grow a good person?
Firstly, I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic - how do you think we grow a good person?
Also, just because I am so excited about the event, I thought I would share some of these details with you - and hopefully see you there!
