The Priority Table: A Miracle on our Plate
Allison Walker Beacham, A 3-time Emmy Award Winning Television Host and Anchor
Michael Beacham, CEO, California Pizza Kitchen
Experience a story of resilience, courage, and love in the face of unthinkable challenge and adversity, as we explore the heartbreaking and compelling account of a family, much like all of us, experiencing a life-altering event as they fought and refused to give up for a year to save the life of their baby daughter who was given no chance of survival. Join us for this special session as Michael and Allison Beacham open up and share their story with the Prosper community. You will leave inspired and motivated, with a renewed sense of what truly matters and perhaps a few significant key take-aways to apply to life and business.
