Resilience in Motion

How to build your own resilience to face any challenge — and the practical ways to do it.

Resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t. Shayna built hers in motion — through two years locked out of the sport she loved, a comeback to the Australian team and two Olympic gold medals in Paris. This keynote breaks down how she did it, and the practical ways your people can build the same capacity to face whatever comes next.
