Description

Debbie shares the TEDx talk she created but ultimately chose not to deliver on the TEDx South Congress stage, exploring how we can transform grief into a catalyst for growth, leadership, and purpose. Through her personal story of losing her son to suicide, she reveals how the statement "There has to be more to life than this" led her to discover a powerful perspective shift from viewing life through the gap of what's missing to appreciating the gain of how far we've come. Debbie is here to guide, mentor and support you through the mess and through the crisis in the moment.

Highlights:

• Debbie and her colleague read and studied "The Gap in the Gain" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan, which provided a fresh perspective on approaching life's challenges
• Grief is the normal emotional reaction to loss of any kind—not just death, but also loss of hopes, identity, relationships, or direction
• The "grief gap" focuses on what's been lost and keeps us stuck in the past
• The "grief gain" focuses on what's been gained through the experience: insights, love, deeper meaning, and resilience
• True leadership isn't about avoiding discomfort but about presence, standing in discomfort, and learning from pain
• Debbie applies this perspective to her current challenge of caring for her mother after surgery with unexpected complications
