Opening Keynote SessionHacking Adversity to Build Resilience: How to use a proven, Two-Step method to resilience and fulfillment.
Meg Poag, CEO, Mission Squared
There comes a time for every person, every team, and every business when things must change. When adversity has become too powerful, and brings out the worst in us, we must choose a different approach to change the game. Indeed, we miss the biggest opportunity for transformation when we fail to use adversity to our advantage. How does stress cause us to act in dysfunctional ways??
This session will provide breakthroughs, aha moments to help participants shift out of their old, habitual, stress-induced patterns of behavior that aren’t working for them. Meg specializes in helping people and companies stop doing stupid things that don’t work, build awareness that shifts perspectives, and opens the door to let everyone move forward. If you’re ready to lean into adversity in a new way, with a proven, 2-step approach, you, too, can unlock your hidden potential AND the best part of your personality when things get tough. It’s time to stop making the same mistakes, pull out of our ego’s, and contribute powerfully to each other and our teams. This highly engaging, humorous, practical session restores hope and confidence for the attendees. By understanding how to better identify when stress is sending them down an old, less-than-ideal pathway, and learning how to immediately shift their approach to one that will generate great results, participants gain clarity and a practical plan to build their resilience.
