In the "Harnessing the Power of Resilience" session, Shirley King sat down to discuss just how important perspective, fulfillment, and achievement really are. Our life's purpose may look different and although we can't choose the cards we're dealt, we do get to decide how we will play them. Be willing to see beyond what's in front of you. Step back to get a different vantage point even when things are hard. Your life's purpose is not solely what you do. Leading is not enough if you're not also fulfilled in what you do.

• "One of the most difficult and challenging forms of grief is the foreign sense of feeling you have when your life's seasons change and you go through painful transitions."

• "Are you owning your power or waiting for someone to give you permission?"

• "If you don't deal then you won't heal."

• "As you become aware of where you are, create a practice of 'thought stopping' which is being aware of not only what you think, but how you think."
