A leader reads a short, personal letter or we share a pre-produced video on stage, connecting their life story to the theme of the organization or gathering. Fogarty then joins the leader in conversation, exploring the process behind the letter, inviting questions from the audience, and revealing the deeper stories that shaped it.
