As we come to the end of another year, it’s important to take time to pause, reflect and recalibrate. How can we continue to stay clear and confident in the midst of constant change and uncertainty? We may not be able to control what happens to us or around us, but we can choose how we respond. We can learn to equip ourselves to better respond to change and challenge and those “I didn’t see it coming moments.” Join us for this engaging session to discover a 3-step process to gain perspective and clarity and elevate your resilience.

Join us Wednesday November 16th at 7pm EST for our fourth annual Attitude of Gratitude talk presented by Gina Costa. This presentation was designed to explore the practice of gratitude while focusing on empowerment, hope and resilience in responding to life challenges and adversaries. We will discuss the benefits of what happens in our brains and bodies when we consistently apply gratitude practices and choose a positive mindset. This presentation will provide examples of strategies that can be applied when coping with the unknown, overcoming setbacks and intentionally choosing to cultivate a positive mindset through changes and ongoing challenges.
