Running a small business means constantly navigating uncertainty—but some changes hit harder than others. Whether it’s losing a key client, shifting markets, economic downturns, or personal challenges that impact your business, how you respond can make all the difference.
In this powerful and practical session, we draw lessons from the remarkable journey of Debra Searle, who found herself alone in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean after her rowing partner had to leave their expedition. Rather than giving up, she adapted, persisted, and completed the journey solo—an experience packed with lessons for anyone facing unwanted change.
This presentation offers small business owners:
• Real-world strategies to lead through uncertainty and disruption
• Mindset tools to stay focused, optimistic, and motivated under pressure
• Techniques to shift from reacting to responding with purpose and clarity
• Resilience practices to help you (and your team) stay strong through hard times
If you've ever faced a situation in your business that you didn't choose—but had to deal with anyway—this session will equip you with the mental tools and inspiration to keep moving forward.
