Courtney works with organizations that need teams who can succeed during stress and change without burning out, lashing out, or giving up. She provides content-based motivation that helps individuals adapt faster, achieve more, and develop Accelerated Resilience ™.

In today’s busy world, you have to bounce back quickly. You need Accelerated Resilience ™.

Organizations hire Courtney to speak at their conferences and events because of her unique blend of what she calls “content-based motivation.” Her presentations balance left brain strategies with right brain storytelling, so every single member of the audience walks away feeling primed for success, no matter their personality or learning style. Everyone in the room will be moved by the blend of humor, stories, research, and interaction Courtney brings to a keynote.

Cancer saved Courtney’s life. She has done the research and she’s lived it: she knows that resilience in the face of major stress is possible, and I know how to get it done. Audience members who hear her presentations say her strategies make it easier to manage manage change, stress, and challenge head-on. She is sought-after for her unique take on action-oriented resilience strategies.

Courtney’s resilience work has been featured in Forbes, Psychology Today, USA Today, and The Chicago Tribune. Her 2 books on resilience, The Giving Prescription and The Successful Struggle, have been called “practical,” “powerful,” and “empowering” by industry leaders.

About Courtney’s Experiences:

At age 26, she beat cancer. But five years later, doctors told her that a routine scan of her brain showed an aneurysm that was about to rupture.

Now, after four fights with cancer, three brain surgeries, adopting a teenager, and years of research into how we “bounce back” when things collapse, she has reached ninja-level skills of adapting.

And she doesn’t want to keep those skills all to herself myself!

The discomfort of change can shake an organization’s culture. But she can help you and your team face change with a new set of skills and ReVisionary Thinking™. You’ll learn systems for adapting that are practical, inspiring, and grounded in research.

And whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid, I won’t just be talking AT your meeting attendees: I’ll build interactivity designed to produce aha! moments and transform behaviors. Girl Scout’s honor! 😉   Change isn’t gonna happen any slower.
