Talk Title
The Power of Resilience: Overcoming Life's Challenges
Talk Description
We all have setbacks in life, times where things do not go as planned. We will all end up at some point in compromised circumstances based on challenges in our personal or business lives. How does one come back? Through self-reflection, active listening, self-acceptance, and discipline, motivation, and consistency. My story is a primer on how to bounce back, a showcase for the concept of resilience. We all hit rock bottom, we all make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean the person is the sum of their shortcomings. The key is resilience. Getting knocked down, but getting right back up.
