With the world around us changing faster than ever before, we’re required to show up in ways that demand a level of resilience that enables us to do more with less time, multitask while still performing at our best, and learning new skills by using technology that didn’t exist even a year ago. Until now, we’ve lacked the toolkit to navigate life’s toughest challenges with clear actions that transform adversity into true resilience.

This keynote offers a unique opportunity for attendees to learn from someone whose firsthand experiences have made her a true expert on the topic. Having endured 460 days as a hostage in one of the world’s most dangerous countries and living with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder for nearly a decade, Amanda is one of the world’s leading voices on resilience. She has built a process that we can all embody to navigate the world around us, and to be at our best and stay there.

By providing strategies for developing a resilient mindset, Amanda teaches specific mindfulness practices, emotional regulation techniques, and the importance of community support. She offers insights that are accessible to anyone looking to strengthen their resilience, regardless of their individual challenges.
