Len Felder, a psychologist in private practice in West L.A., speaks about the need to honor that which makes you different and unconventional, rather than trying to twist yourself into a pretzel to conform with the majority or the clique. He will discuss ways to make sure you thrive even when you're surrounded by people who disagree with you or who don't get who you are -- how to do this without having a chip on your shoulder and how to build allies and support for your unique gifts and perspectives.
