Share a specific time you encountered an obstacle and describe how you overcame it.
Between May 2009 and May 2010, I had a heart attack that should have killed me, lost my job during the economic recession, had my car repossessed, and my home foreclosed, all in a period of 369 days. It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
Share a short story about your best (or favorite) case study.
I was working with a healthcare executive, that was having a difficult time with her team. There was a lack of trust (that was inherited, to no fault of her own.) She was also so stressed, that it impacted her ability to start a family with her spouse. After learning some stress reduction and team culture skills, her team turned around, and her workplace was no longer toxic. She also shortly thereafter conceived, and now has a healthy and growing very fast, son.
What advice would you give the “20-Year-Old-You” who’s eager to start in life?
Establish boundaries in your life. Say no more. Take care of yourself FIRST.
Please describe a monumental time in your life that you’ll never forget.
My 369 days (May 2009-May 2010) where I nearly died and lost everything (job, car, home.)
