Why is it that some people experience fear and anxiety following stressful events (like living through a pandemic)\, while others come out of it as a better version of themselves? In her new speech focused on post-traumatic growth (PTG)\, history-making polar explorer Alison Levine recounts some of the most epic survival stories of all time: from a teenage holocaust survivor who outsmarted the Nazis (who happens to be a family member) to famed Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton—there is much to be learned from those who have survived the unthinkable.
Throughout this moving presentation\, Alison uncovers the specific tactics we should use to stack the deck in our favor so that we (and the people around us) experience growth from tough times vs. feeling overwhelmed by stress and doubt. She takes audiences to the most remote\, extreme places on the planet and demonstrates how leaders can help people succeed in unpredictable environments and move toward PTG.
The world will always be full of challenges—and whether we choose to rise up or retreat after them will change our destiny.
