About this talk

With a lesson for us all, UPS Pilot Kelly Lepley shares her painful and liberating journey from male to female. She shares how her life in hiding made her less generous and less present, and caused everyone from her family, co-workers and the larger community, to suffer. In this deeply personal talk, she explains how the pain of inauthenticity can make us selfish, while embracing ourselves has the potential to make us selfless in ways we never imagined.
