In this presentation Sharon Mallon will explain how we can experience extraordinary growth during periods of adversity; that it is in fact during challenging times, we are presented with our greatest opportunities to develop resiliency, strength and courage. Her story tells of how she suffered three life-altering tragedies; all back to back. Her story will surprise many to know that emotional pain is as, and in some cases, more destructive than physical pain.
Sharon Mallon also shares very personal details of her journey from the depths of despair to how she lives her life today. Her description of the devastation she felt is so explicit, it has brought audience members to tears. Why? Her story is so relatable, so relevant, so timely and so engaging, it can’t help but illicit the rawest of emotions. It’s how she recovered though that is the ‘jewel’ in this message. Her never give up attitude, her determination to plow through the pain, and ultimately her ability to ‘let go’ will leave audiences believing that if ‘she can do it, they too can do it’.
How I Turned A Bone Marrow Transplant Into A Cruise
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
There isn’t a cancer patient on the planet who ‘doesn’t’ need to hear a story of survival.
Few would think of any kind of transplant as a walk in the park, but it’s exactly how Sharon Mallon approached this life-saving procedure. She literally chose to look at it as a ‘vacation’; in fact, her favourite type of holiday—a cruise. How she did it is the theme of this presentation; from the day of diagnosis to the day, Sharon Mallon learned a transplant was her only option for survival, to how she lives her life today. It illustrates the tenacity of the human spirit. It focuses on the power of adaptability.
Her story is teachable insofar as she explains the tools she used to not only survive but to recover in the top fifth percentile. Most importantly she’ll detail the ‘one tool’, that got her through the procedure and subsequent recovery. The simplicity of that tool is often surprising to audiences. While the strategy she used was indeed straightforward and practical, it’s ‘how’ she got to that point that is the ‘treasure’ in this presentation.
No two cancers are the same, BUT the approach we use to battle each diagnosis ‘can’ be the same. Cancer is only ‘one’ part of our life; it’s not our entire life and what we do when we’re diagnosed ‘can’ have a profound effect on the outcome.
This presentation offers hope and encouragement to anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer. It’s also a gift for family members who are so often struck with such a sense of grief, they sometimes suffer more than the patient. Again, there isn’t a cancer patient on the planet who ‘doesn’t’ need to hear a story of survival.
The Resilient Mind
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
There are those among us who are naturally resilient. They have a mindset of resilience. They’re actually able to see how setbacks serve as stepping stones to greatness. They rarely look at challenges as negative; they see them as opportunities. The rest of us? We have to work at developing a resilient mindset. That’s the bad news. The good news is we are all capable of developing such a thinking pattern.
In this presentation, Sharon will explain the mindset of the resilient. She’ll teach the audience how to develop one. Included are proven strategies for building a resilient mindset. There are five pillars of resiliency, which when explained, will help audiences to understand this pattern of thinking is within their grasp.
Fortunately, we are all capable of acquiring such a thinking pattern. More than ever, these strategies are critical for our well-being.
On any given day, millions of people around the world are blindsided. Millions are hit by circumstances they could have not fathomed. That we are going to suffer at some point in our life is a given. It’s why we all need to learn how to develop a resilient mindset insofar as it may well determine for ‘how long’ we suffer.
Sharon Mallon is qualified to speak on this subject as she experienced three tragedies in her life, not including the death of loved ones. She’ll explain ‘exactly’ how she built and continues to flex her muscle of ‘resilience’.
