Event Title
Bridging Worlds: The Dreams of the Adara Story
Description
Set against a background of polarization and global division, Debbie Lester will share her journey of bridging worlds through her work with the Adara Group. Adara’s out of the box thinking and creative approach has not only empowered people working in financial services to use their mastery for a purpose, but has also had a significant impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people living in poverty across the globe.
