Resilience Speakers

The art of resilience is more than just “bouncing back.” Being resilient takes motivation, a deeper understanding of oneself, and the support of one’s community. From professional athletes to industry thought leaders to successful entrepreneurs, our Resilience Keynote Speakers can help you master this art form. Now more than ever, organizations are experiencing high attrition rates and low team morale. With working from home contributing new, different forms of stress, our new normal is difficult for many people to cope with.

Our Resilience Keynote Speakers range in approaches to resilience and each unique keynote experience can be tailored exactly to your team’s needs. Listen to the thrilling story of Jim Davidson’s attempt to climb Mt. Everest on its deadliest day in history, only to be stranded at base camp with no way down the mountain. Although most of us would’ve called it quits after nearly surviving an Everest catastrophe, Davidson returned years later to summit the mountain and conquer his doubts.

Learn how managing your energy and being present can help you build resilience from Molly Fletcher, a former sports agent who tackled an extremely male-dominated industry to be the leader of her industry with over $500 million in contracts.

Or hear about Inky Johnson’s career-ending injury during a collegiate football game that left him with chronic pain, a paralyzed right arm, and constant physical challenges. But that’s not where his story ends. After his dream and escape from poverty were crushed in his accident, Johnson relied on the power of God to help him achieve great heights as a sports psychologist and found his passion of working with underprivileged youths.

Perhaps you need a dose of resilience for your leadership team. Mike Sarraille, former Recon Marine and retired United States Navy SEAL, infuses his leadership keynote speeches with the power of resilience he found in active duty leading the nation’s most elite military. He’ll explain what it takes to lead through the most challenging, life or death situations, and give you actionable steps to becoming a more resilient leader.

Whatever speaks to your team — sports, adventure, military, career success, and more — we have a Resilience Keynote Speaker who has lived through it and will teach you how to summon the same strength they used. Whether you are in need of an uplifting real-life story of resilience to motivate your team, or you’d like to dive deep into building a resilient mindset, we have the perfect inspirational keynote speaker for you.
