YP Week 2025 Agenda
October 6-10, 2025
Kickoff Lunch with Sarah Collins
October 6, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt the weight of stress, burnout, or bad vibes? As young professionals navigate deadlines, career growth, and the hustle of everyday life,
it's easy to feel drained. That's where The Good Life Energy Club comes in. This high-energy, interactive keynote helps participants recharge, reconnect, and rediscover the power of positive energy,
at work and beyond. Through science-backed strategies, humor, and a few unexpected activities, we'll tap into the contagious nature of optimism, explore practical ways to boost morale, and
turn "good energy" into leadership advantage. Let's kick off YP Week by becoming founding members of a movement that makes your energy your most powerful asset.
