On this episode of The SPEAK™ Podcast, our micro-theme is "the trauma effect" where we focus on three talks where our speakers all experienced a trauma in their lives and a moment of transformation that eventually brought them through to the other side of trauma. What's that other side? You'll find out in a few minutes. We're featuring talks from some of our recent pop-up events: Seasons and Neurodiversity.
