KEYNOTE: Contagious Courage
Vahen King is an Author, Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and yes even an Ordained Minister. But please don't let that scare you away. Vahen is just a normal girl loving life, and walking though each door that opens. Vahen doesn't claim to have all the answers, but she believes that all the events in her life—both good and bad— have lead her to this unique platform with a voice to speak into people's brokenness and pain in a way she never thought possible. Vahen currently lives with her husband, Vaughan, in Edmonton, Alberta, and considers it a true honor and privilege to be here with you today.
