Manage episode 465361742 series 3558805
In this episode we explore how life-altering challenges can redefine not just who we are but how we approach our careers. Imagine facing a setback so profound that it changes every aspect of your daily life, like becoming a paraplegic, then a walking paraplegic. Through determination, adaptability, and grit, such challenges can open unexpected doors to new paths and purposes. In this conversation with Erica Sosna, a walking paraplegic, we share insights on how resilience in the face of adversity can transform limitations into opportunities, creating a career—and a life—that’s more meaningful than ever imagined.
A couple takeaways are: 1. Where you look is where you go. 2. Your focus and your attitude determine your experience. 3. Learn how to be uncomfortable.
