A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Today is Gonna be Different

Life is a terrain that is full of peaks and valleys,
too dynamic and fluid that it cannot be contained within baileys.
So, don’t be despondent if yesterday was turbulent,
just focus on today coz it’s goanna be different.

You are not the first nor the last one to feel life’s pain,
there are too many variables to deal with; controlling them will be an effort in vain.
Even the droplets of water that reach cloud height have to fall one day,
nothing is permanent, so keep faith you will have your way.
coz the past was challenging, doesn’t make you inefficient,
just focus on today coz it’s goanna be different.

Luck will play its role, because life is full of chance events,
all you can do is work hard and just don’t wait for planetary alignments.
“Plan and act” is a useful mantra to consider,
it will help you find a way, even in the moments of disorder.
Know your priorities and don’t be negligent,
just focus on today coz it’s goanna be different.

There will be setbacks, as that is how life goes,
you will come out shining if you learn to put behind such woes.
Surely there is a path to success if you stay persistent,
also rub shoulders with some smart people to become “smart proficient.”
Says Jiwat, chill out and pls don’t be impatient,
just focus on today coz it’s goanna be different.
