Program
Description
No
one is immune from tough, unexpected, unwelcome
experiences in life. One day you’re on top of the
world, the next day the world’s on top of you.
Adversity causes some people to break; it inspires
others to break records. It all depends on how they
choose to respond.
Based on Dr. Bev’s book by the same title, this
interactive workshop enables participants to embrace
hope…one choice at a time. As never before, they will
come to understand that they have the power to choose
what happens in them, though they may sometimes
have no control over what happens to them. They will
explore the ten choices that make or break the rest of
their lives, then develop the courage to act on the
wisest decisions after they go through a personal or
professional disappointment, setback, or tragedy.
