Keynote
This Wasn't Supposed to Happen to Me!
One day you’re on top of the world; the next day the world’s on top of you. Life hands you experiences that just weren’t supposed to happen. In this inspirational and entertaining keynote, Dr. Bev Smallwood shows you how to come back after a setback, sharing three powerful principles of remarkable resilience. The truth is, you can’t control what happens to you, but you can choose what happens in you.
Every significant crisis in your life is a turning point. You don’t have to be like those who never heal and grow because they allow bitterness to corrupt their spirits, deny they have a problem, isolate themselves, or adopt the victim mentality. Make the right choices during adversity, and you will become stronger at the core, more fulfilled, and more capable of making a difference to those around you. You will experience true post-traumatic growth.
In this humorous and thought-provoking keynote, Dr. Bev tackles the tough issues faced by everyone throughout life, sharing real-life strategies for moving on after unwelcome changes, setbacks, and disappointments. Every participant will leave with practical strategies for making wise choices, maintaining unwavering hope, and building a life of purpose.
