This session was presented at a previous EA Ignite event. To explore upcoming sessions, please visit our current agenda.

We want to be resilient, to take on life’s challenges, learn from them, grow with them, and be ready to take on the next obstacle that comes our way. But as you push through life are you really being resilient or just an Emotional Sherpa?

This breakout session offers insight into the difference between the two, how to recognize which one you are, and how to stop the burnout and become truly resilient and thrive in life by using a Safety Dance to manage the stress that is thrown at us. Attendees will see a demonstration of some of the Safety Dance techniques, learn to identify which dance works for them, and have the opportunity to test it out on stage! Attendees leave with tools they can immediately use in their everyday life to begin thriving.
