About this Event
GUEST SPEAKER: Ashton Gavelek
TOPIC: It’s Ok to NOT be ok: How Vulnerability Builds Connection
WHERE: Firefly Grill: 101 Chesterfield Towne Center, Chesterfield, MO 63005
WHEN: Tuesday February 24, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
In a world that rewards composure and silence, it can feel scary to share what’s really going on. In this presentation, I will open with how my infertility journey forced me to be vulnerable at work with my manager and peers, and how that honest conversation transformed those relationships. I’ll explore why sharing what’s hard isn’t a weakness, but a bridge that brings people closer.
Using examples from real life scenarios and referencing well known authors and speakers, people will leave with a sigh of relief knowing they can have the hard conversations and build connections in work and in personal life.
