  • Courtney’s keynotes are inspiring (and funny and high energy!). But they are also evidence based. Courtney and her research team make sure that her speeches on resilience are practical, tactical, and full of strategies you can start using right away. Resilience isn’t just about being happy all the time, it is not just a personality type, but it is a skill that can and should be learned and cultivated. Come hear Courtney talk about the building blocks of resilience so you are not stressed, frustrated, and stuck as you face life’s challenges from the past few years and going into the future. You will learn how to bounce back quickly from any changes and stressors in life through accelerated resiliency and ReVisionary Thinking™!
