Building Your Resilience: Getting Through Change and Uncertainty With More Ease

About this session

Former airline pilot Charlotte Hillenbrand had to do a complete career pivot in the wake of the pandemic. Her experiences (both the ones that landed her in the cockpit of a widebody jet and the ones she had after losing her job), fueled by a passion for human potential, led her to launch a mentoring and coaching business. And Charlotte has a book in the works, due for release in early 2023.

Drawing from her work, observations, and studies in applied neuroscience and positive psychology, Charlotte has discovered ways to help people move forward by looking at themselves differently and accessing the best version of themselves.

Contrary to harsh talk about fortitude and endurance that can seem unattainable, Charlotte shares gentle strategies to uncover your strengths and build your resilience. That way, we can get through change and uncertainty with more ease.

In this chat, you will learn:

  • How to look for a transferable you, instead of transferable skills
  • Ways to find confidence and resilience in flexibility
  • The power of small steps
