Jennifer Robin Wilson – The Heart of Homestay

For our guest, she thought her life was settled; a happy marriage, two young kids, a career she loved; and yet it came apart in ways she never anticipated.In the aftermath, she took what was supposed to be a short stint in her family's homestay business: facilitating the placement of international students into private homes across her community. On the surface, it was a practical solution, but beneath it, was an entirely new world.Because opening someone's home to a stranger is never simple. There are nuances, barriers, and moments of profound human connection that most of us never get to witness. And she had the honour of witnessing thousands of them.Join us as we explore what happens when an unexpected chapter becomes your greatest teacher, and why the business of bringing people together might be the most meaningful work of all.#pivotalmoment #theheartofhomestay #connectionSend us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become. Drawing on years of experience leading, guiding, and mentoring teams, Lesley brings authenticity, curiosity, and heart to the conversation as each interaction is an opportunity to define what truly matters.One question.
