In an open, vulnerable, and honest opening conversation, Colin Mincy will take attendees through the impossible intersection of trauma, loss, and disappointment and how listening to and following your heart is a mechanism for personal healing and professional transformation.

​

Whether the source of your trauma is from life or work or both, Colin will share tools he uses to cope with stress and the stressors of life and work, how he centers his identity and MUST HAVES in life and work in ways that can't be negotiated, and the tools he now applies to his life and work that allows him to lead a more meaningful life and do his most transformative work.

​

After this session, you'll be able to:​​

1. Create psychological safety around disappointment, conflict, tragedy, and pain for yourself and others. 

2. Better understand the importance of vulnerability in leadership and how modeling it is a sign of strength.

3. Fully embrace the saying, "it's okay not to be okay."
