Toronto LinkedIn Local Events

<h2>Toronto Linkedin Local Meetup – &quot;Resilience in the Eye of the Storm&quot;, Nov 19th, 5:30pm EST</h2><h3>About this Event</h3>As we all know, the spread of COVID-19 has caused many people around the world to change their everyday lives. We’ve been asked to help “flatten the curve” to avoid a spike in cases that would overwhelm our health services. For some of you us, this means that we have to self-isolate, and for others, it means working from home for the foreseeable future. Some of us continue going to workplaces because of the essential nature of our work, while still others may face the prospect of job loss.These are all difficult situations, and everyone has their own response to stress. This is a good time to remember, however, that you have resilience skills and you can cope. We are now in the &quot;Eye of the Storm&quot; and doing our best to navigate the uncertainty, overwhelm and changing workplace and business cultures. This is the 18th Toronto LinkedIn Local event, but this one is online, so we are excited to have a more global reach.During this Virtual LinkedIn Local event, you will gain insights from resilience experts, senior business leaders and executive-level professionals from across the world who will share their insights on resilience, overwhelm, burnout and more.<h3>FEATURED SPEAKERS:</h3>MARK BLACK: Resilience Expert, Coach.

SARAH WELLS: Olympian, Motivational Speaker, Believe Initiative, Leadership LaunchObstacles don’t scare Sarah Wells. As a 400m hurdler, this Olympian’s reputation was forged through overcoming challenges and achieving the incredible. Take her debut at the London Olympics in 2012, which came despite an injury that had her sidelined for months just the year before. Outside of competitive sports, this athlete is coaching people to pursue their goals through the Believe Initiative, an organization founded on—fittingly—a message of resilience. Most recently you would have seen Sarah pushing her limits on the latest season of the Amazing Race Canada, where she got to push her boundaries in a whole new kind of way! Evidently someone who understands the importance of self-belief and the power of purpose, you'll want to listen-up when this Olympic semi-finalist and Pan Am Games silver medallist takes the virtual stage.

In order to harness and enhance your resilience, you will learn about The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People, the behaviors that determine whether you will flourish or fold when, not if, you inevitably face challenge, change, and complexity in leadership and in life.
