Better Business Habits Weekly Breakfast - Week 7
Member's Topic: What is the greatest challenge you have faced at work or play? (In your business or life).
Speaker: Cindy Scott
Speakers Topic: Coping + Thriving With Adversity
Bend Without Breaking
Everyone will experience adversity in their life. Such life transitions are the fabric of our human experience and set to challenge us no matter how strong and adaptive we are.
Whether it’s a job loss or insecurity, being bullied or harassed, a divorce or life-threatening illness, each one of these circumstances stands to test us to our core and has the potential to redefine how we see ourselves and how we interact with our world.
We may not choose to endure such challenges but we do have a choice in how we respond to them. Coping strategies are key to our success and yet, something we’re never taught. The ability to bend without breaking, to flex and meet each challenge is essential to our survival.
Join me for this intimate talk where I will share my personal cancer story and the insights and wisdom I’ve gained along the way. While I am still amidst my cancer journey, discover the strategies I’ve employed to not only survive but thrive through adversity and pivoting my business in response.
We will explore three coping practices to remain resilient and positive so you can successfully navigate any challenge life presents you.
Cindy Scott
Hi, I’m Cindy Scott and I am very much walking the line between what was my life before and what it will look like after a life-threatening disease. Following a cancer diagnosis in 2020, labels like author, speaker and empowerment coach seem to no longer quite fit the woman I am becoming. In fact, labels of any sort feel restrictive and limiting as I slowly adapt and flex into a brave new world of treatments and envisioning a life afterward.
What I can tell you is that I am an incredibly strong and resilient woman who has endured several of life’s biggest hurdles and chosen to make lemonade when life served me lemons. I’d love to share some of my adventures and the wisdom gained so that you may avoid some of the hurdles that will inevitably find you.
