Rising Strong After Setbacks

Representing Dr. Brené Brown’s latest research on vulnerability and shame, the Rising Strong™ workshop, will provide insights into: • Rising after failure, disappointment, and loss, and the process for moving through them • The physics of vulnerability and guidelines for rising after a fall • How stories have power in your life to drive emotions, thoughts, and behaviours • What it means to rumble with emotions like shame, guilt, anxiety, blame, accountability, resentment, grief, forgiveness, and perfectionism • Emotional offloading strategies and how they move us away from our values • Recognizing and capturing the stories we make up when faced with struggle • Writing your own daring endings to tough stories • Daring people fall. Own your story of falling to write your own bold ending. This session is for anyone looking to rise from setbacks, losses and disappointments with greater courage in any area of their professional and personal life, and tips for helping students do the same. Why is this session important? Teachers, students and administrators have and continue to face unprecedented challenges in their professional and personal lives. It’s imperative that educators learn the skills that create resilience so that they can manage the tremendous stressors that they face, and can pass these tools on to their students.
