SPEAKER LINE-UP:
KEVIN MacDONALD; Principal, Clarity Success Coaching Ltd.
Topic: "The Upside of Down!"
There are times when it is hard to forget what we have been through in the past two years and there are times when it is hard to remember how limited and restricted we were not that long ago. Everybody has been through it and everyone has been impacted. Now it is time to check in with ourselves to make sure we are ready for what is next. If you, your team, your family and the people you serve need the best of you, it may be time to decide. This session will cover:
- Seeing obstacles differently
- Making the obstacle your advantage
- Seeing yourself
- Seeing yourself differently
- Deciding “who” and “how” you are going to be in a new season.
- Turning Pro in “Seeing the Upside of Down!’

Coaching and developing today’s junior golfers can present several challenges along with common misconceptions. How can we effectively learn to nurture and encourage junior golfers to take the next step with their game?
About Conner Kozak
