Daryll Wharton

In the transformative keynote "What’s In Your Bag?," Dr. Daryll highlights the often-overlooked topic of teacher wellness. Using the metaphor of the bag teachers carry—both literal and figurative—she examines the emotional and mental weight educators manage daily, from stressors to limiting beliefs. Through relatable stories and actionable strategies, Dr. Daryll inspires teachers to release what drains them, reconnect with their purpose, and fill their “bags” with tools for resilience and joy. This keynote is a powerful call to action, emphasizing self-care, boundaries, and self-compassion as pathways to personal and professional transformation.
