We spend much of our lives learning: how to succeed, how to lead, how to belong, how to be accepted, and who we're supposed to become. But some of our most important growth begins when we start asking the question, "What do I need to unlearn?".

In this session, Angela Cope, co-host of Unlearning in Progress, will share her own journey from a difficult upbringing shaped by fear and limiting beliefs, through homelessness and personal struggle, to building a successful career and life. And ultimately reaching a point where success itself required a new kind of courage of questioning the stories, identities, and expectations she had carried with her along the way.

Through personal storytelling, reflection, and facilitated conversation, we'll explore the beliefs we inherit from our families, workplaces, cultures, and past experiences and how those beliefs can quietly shape the way we see ourselves, define success, make decisions, and imagine what's possible.

This isn't about becoming a completely different person. It's about becoming curious about what you've been carrying, recognizing what may no longer serve you, and creating space for the person you're still becoming.

Attendees will:

• Understand why unlearning is essential to growth and how stillness, rest, and reflection create the space to recognize what no longer serves us.
• Identify and name common inherited beliefs and internal narratives that may be influencing how you approach success, career, leadership, relationships, and self-worth.
• Learn a simple framework for noticing, questioning, and beginning to rewrite beliefs that no longer serve the person they're becoming.
•  Leave with one personal belief that you're ready to question and a practical next step for beginning your own process of unlearning.
