Resilience in Leadership — Bouncing Forward, Not Back

In a world defined by constant change and uncertainty, resilience has become one of the most essential qualities of effective leadership. But true resilience isn’t about simply bouncing back — it’s about bouncing forward.

Join us for an inspiring and interactive session with Mark Chamberlin, a seasoned leader, mentor, and storyteller who brings decades of wisdom and optimism to every conversation. In this talk, Mark will share personal stories from his own leadership journey and reveal how challenges, setbacks, and moments of transition can become powerful catalysts for growth.

Through warmth, humor, and reflection, Mark will explore:
✨ Why resilience is the cornerstone of leadership in times of change
✨ The power of self-compassion and emotional intelligence in staying steady under pressure
✨ How to identify your triggers, leverage your strengths, and lead with clarity
✨ The importance of surrounding yourself with a high-performing, supportive team
✨ Why the stories we tell ourselves — and others — shape our ability to move forward

This uplifting session will remind you that every challenge is an opportunity to write your next chapter — stronger, wiser, and more determined than before.
