Who Am I Without the Role?

Who Am I Without the Role?

Finding Our Footing When the Roles That Define Us Change

Keynote  
Program  
Careers end. Relationships change. Children grow up. Beliefs evolve. Recovery changes us. Sometimes the roles that once gave our lives structure no longer fit, leaving us with a surprisingly difficult question: Who am I now? Drawing from his own transitions through ministry, career change, recovery, retirement, and personal reinvention, Don explores the difference between having meaningful roles and asking those roles to carry the full weight of our identity. Audiences will explore how to recognize when a role has become intertwined with personal identity; navigate transitions without treating change as a loss of worth; and develop a more flexible sense of identity grounded in who we are, not simply what we do.
