How you deal with this ever-changing high stress pandemic and post-pandemic world is completely up to you. You have a choice. Your people have a choice. Your organization has a choice. You can stay stuck or develop a Momentum Mindset® so that you can move forward, grow with grit and create sustained momentum in the midst of the ongoing change and uncertainty. Being adaptable and resilient is going to be a necessity in the post-pandemic world. Things are changing at a more rapid pace than ever before. The way we connect, live and work are changing too. There is no normal or “new normal.” There is only what is NOW and what is NEXT. Being adaptable and resilient is what will allow you to BOUNCE FORWARD no matter what.
Kim shares her own stories of resilience in life and business with healthy doses of vulnerability, humor, and motivation and will share how to use resilience to not only navigate and cope during change and uncertainty, but build a Momentum Mindset where you develop sustained resilience to push past limited thinking and use the adversity and uncertainty in your life and the world as the fuel needed to propel you forward – stronger and better than before.
Leave this program equipped with the tools you need to ROCK your mindset to think differently, conquer change and challenges, reduce stress and overwhelm and create the everyday resilience required in this ever-changing complex pandemic world to build momentum no matter what.
