Captain Kidd was one of the most notorious pirates to ever prowl the seas. But few know that Kidd had an accomplice, a behind-the-scenes player who enabled his plundering and helped him outpace his enemies. That accomplice was his wife, Sarah Kidd, a well-to-do woman whose extraordinary life is a lesson in reinvention and resourcefulness. Twice widowed by twenty-one and operating within the strictures of polite society in seventeenth• and eighteenth-century New York, Sarah secretly aided and abetted her husband, fighting alongside him against his accusers. More remarkable still was that Sarah not only survived the tragedy wrought by her infamous husband’s deeds but went on to live a successful and productive life as one of New York’s most prominent citizens.

What's Beyond Happiness?
Since the world hit reset in 2020, people have been asking:
How do I know if I’m spending the minutes of my day meaningfully? Whether you lead a company, teams, or your own work & life, it is time to get to the core of who you are, live the purposeful life you want, and ripple your impact to people in your business and beyond.
This session shares why it’s time to redefine happiness, the role that life’s highs and lows play, and how we are more resilient when we live with happiness and humanity. Define what it means to take care of your greenhouse as you grow others, and embrace the new concept of the double ROI — return on investment and ripple of impact.
When we apply the learnings from Beyond Happiness, we wake up knowing, regardless of what bad news might be in the headlines that day, that we’re grounded in our internal worlds. That we’re putting our time and talents to the best use, in service of ourselves and everyone we touch in our ecosystems.
