Lynn Huynh, guest speaker, was introduced by Martin as they are both part of the professional speakers organization. Lynn spoke about the journey that her family made leaving Vietnam and coming to Canada as refugees, as well as her success at running races in four deserts and breaking 3 records in the process. Her presentation was about being Wonder-Full: to use the Power of Wonder, Ask Better Questions when your are met with roadblocks, and to Cultivate a Curious Mindset.
