This keynote introduces the concept of resiliency from a broad worldview that incorporates five key areas. Sharing from Robyne’s experiences traveling around the globe, Robyne reviews what people have in common that contributes to resiliency, and what we can do in our own lives to foster resiliency within others and ourselves. Robyne’s talk highlights practical strategies and ideas grounded in optimal stress, value alignment, practical focus and the importance of continued goal setting. Using narrative pedagogy, Robyne’s talk shares candid encounters with resiliency that are research-informed and readily available to all of us.
