SPEAKING
RONDA CARMAN SPEAKS ABOUT THE IDEAS THAT HAVE SHAPED HER LIFE AND WORK: THE COURAGE TO BEGIN, THE VALUE OF CURIOSITY, THE POWER OF GENEROUS ATTENTION, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BUILD A LIFE AND CAREER THAT CONTINUE TO EVOLVE.
Drawing on a career that has moved from blogging and journalism to books, entrepreneurship, travel, and competitive sporting clays, Ronda brings an unusual perspective to reinvention, connection, and creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear.
Her talks combine personal experience with a larger idea: how we pay attention—to people, possibility, and the world around us—has an extraordinary influence on the lives we build and the way others remember us.
