  • Light Up Your Style, Light Up Your Store
  • Leading with Emotional Intelligence
  • Developing and Understanding Your Leadership Brand

Monday afternoon began with a keynote on having a Growth Mindset presented by Neil Pasricha, best-selling author and leadership development professional, during which attendees learned how to improve their mindset and take their business and life to an elevated level. Attendees closed the afternoon with another industry elective session of their choice.

Transitions Academy continued on Tuesday with a presentation on how to Light Up Your Market. Tuesday morning closed with other industry elective sessions.

Tuesday afternoon began with Go Team: Light It Up, a team building scavenger hunt activity where teams competed for a prize donation to the charity of their choice.

Later that night, Smith and Johns led the 2019 Transitions Innovation Awards ceremony. Optik was on location to report the Canadian winners during the ceremony on February 4.
