From Tough to Triumph

Transforming Grief, Loss and Caregiver Challenges

You’ve heard the song, “Whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.”

If only it were true.

Just making it through an individual or organizational challenge doesn’t guarantee a resilient outcome…

This keynote speech and workshop identifies and explores the attitudes, behaviors, and practices necessary for individuals, families, and work groups to increase the likelihood of achieving positive outcomes in the aftermath of challenge and adversity.

What You Will Learn

  • The importance of mindset and how to achieve helpful ones.
  • Art-based strategies to strengthen supportive connections and encourage creative collaborations.
  • The power of self-compassion and radical self-care and how to make them part of your daily life practice.
  • How to cultivate a culture of curiosity and focused respectful listening in the present moment
  • That post traumatic growth is the natural outcome of letting go of expectations and plans – and accepting realistic choices in the present moment.
