Topics, Sessions And Talks
Whether you’re leading a business on a transformational journey or are managing life outside of work, you’ll encounter obstacles along the way. From regulatory roadblocks to restructures, the challenges can seem insurmountable. You can let them stop you in your tracks or push you off course, or you can embrace them, learn from them and ultimately thrive. Felicity Ashley shares her extraordinary tale of adventure and adversity, the lessons she’s learned to help her thrive, and the tools and techniques that anyone can use to navigate life’s challenges. She talks about the power of mindset, resilience, and building support networks.
To thrive in a competitive business context, organisations need to constantly evolve and set challenging goals. To succeed, they need to support their people in developing the skills and mindset they need to take on, embrace, and smash their goals. Felicity Ashley shares her extraordinary feat of rowing over 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, together with the very different health goal of overcoming cancer, and the tools she has used to make the impossible feel possible. She discusses the power of mindset, embracing fear, breaking down your goals, and finding the courage to ask for help.
There is nothing as constant as change. Organisations need to help their people to see change as an opportunity and provide them with the skills and mindset they need to adapt and thrive through changing times. Felicity Ashley embodies transformation, and using her experiences and journey from marketer, to ocean rower, cancer survivor and now speaker and author, she inspires and motivates people to embrace, rather than fear change, adapt and seize the opportunities it offers.
