    Lessons for Defeating Goliath

    We all face giants - obstacles that seem impossible to overcome. But what if they key to victory isn't brute force or conventional tools, but unique strengths or resources often overlooked? Through the lens of the iconic David and Goliath story, this session shows how the right tools, mindset, and courage when used with confidence and precision can turn any underdog into a giant slayer. Get ready to rethink your challenges and unleash your inner David.
