So many of us are thrown obstacles in life, work, and our day to day. These obstacles throw us off, cause frustration and make us feel as if we aren’t in control. But we have much more control then we realize. We can’t change what happened, but we can change how we react. We can choose to reinvent ourselves, turning obstacles into opportunities, tragedy into triumph.
In this talk we will explore the three tools we can use to take control and live the life we dream of: Discovery, Conquer and Breakthrough. Living a life full of joy and fulfillment is in your power.
Do you look like a success on paper, but deep inside, something is missing? Is your salary keeping you from exploring what brings you joy? Do your responsibilities to others make you feel like you are stuck on a hamster wheel?
It doesn't have to be this way. In this talk, we explore how you can take control of your life and make the changes that will not only bring more joy and fulfillment to your life and the life of those you love, but also help you get more career satisfaction, even if you don't make a change in your current job.
This talk is ideal for HS or College students to help them make the transition to their next adventure. Many people learn the skills to reinvention their lives after being faced with a tragedy, but you don't have to wait. Lori shares what she learned so you can take control of your life now and make the chooses that will bring a life full of love and joy. Her motto, life is meant to be lived one crazy adventure at a time, can be a mantra to get the most out of any situation.
At sixty, Lori was fired from a long term job in a horrendous manner. Rather than wallow in self-pity, she decided that she had a choice in how to live. She wrote a book, started a new company, launched a speaking and coaching career and never looked back. She can teach you the secrets to embracing change at any age.
I have been fired twice and both were not your typical firing. The first time, I was asked to come in to the office on a Saturday to get fired. The second time, I drove four-hours to a two-day sales meeting where I was supposed to speak, only to be told my hotel room had been cancelled, and I was fired, effective immediately.
Both times, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
In this talk, we explore how to turn getting fired into an opportunity for growth, success and joy. Everything happens for a reason and discovery what that reason can lead to so many amazing adventures.
