After three sports-related head injuries, one subarachnoid hemorrhage, financial loss, loss of housing, and other setbacks, I began to process difficult experiences as a learning lab for resilience, to stay in alignment with my purpose and what has meaning. It occurred to me that my experience might help others.
In this video, I share what I observed, the steps I wandered (or staggered) through to process various life experiences, recover, and move forward.
Disclaimer: This is not professional advice; it is personal experience.
Because I am a process nerd and specialize in transforming life’s experiences into value, making sense is combined with the steps I used to guide myself into new territory with confidence. My hope is/was that what I experienced would have value to others navigating the messy middle between one state of being and the next.
Feedback is welcome. There’s more to come.
The inner work is becoming increasingly essential if we are to collectively work with high uncertainty while redirecting leadership decisions toward a life-affirming understanding of system relationships.

One more simple step not in the video:
Be in awe with life. Every morning!
For me, lately it has been the massive flocks of geese flying south. Canada geese, Snow geese, White-fronted geese in formation or not. These are Ross’s geese from my father’s photo collection and a book that never got published.
Above the deafening manmade noise is the subtle sound of wings riding the slipstream following the bird ahead. Their trip is not as long as other species, only 4800 km (2 - 3000 miles). Still, pretty impressive!
