Stella Airoldi – Finding Purpose: How Human Needs Shape Your Life and Fulfillment
Why does one person risk their life for another while someone else might harm without reason?
Beneath it all lies a set of universal human needs—powerful forces that shape our feelings, decisions, and futures. In this session, Stella Airoldi will share her journey of leaving behind an international career to create a life centered on contribution and fulfillment. Drawing on her experience founding a charity in Uganda for HIV-positive women and children, Stella will illustrate the transformative power of community and contribution. She’ll also highlight how love and connection play a vital role in personal growth, especially during life’s toughest challenges.
Participants will learn to embrace change and uncertainty, step outside their comfort zones, and discover how nurturing relationships and community involvement can unlock a deeper sense of purpose.
