From life coach Kate Gladdin, this easy-to-follow, three-step plan for how to bravely face life’s unexpected challenges is the foolproof solution to developing resilience. When motivational speaker Kate Gladdin was twenty years old, she woke up in the middle of the night to find out her older sister had died in a tragic road accident. Suddenly, everything she knew about her life, her future, and her family shattered in a heartbeat. Just like Gladdin, we all face loss in different ways every day, because adversity is a part of life. There’s no getting around it–only through it–and the most vital tool we need to overcome the unexpected is resilience. It was this realization that led Gladdin to become a resilience expert, life coach, and motivational speaker. Through her own proven three-step strategy using the three Rs–to recognize, reflect, and redirect–she now has the skills to use anytime she feels helpless and wants to take back control over any circumstance she faces. It’s this incredible method that Gladdin teaches in Okay, Now What? She shows readers how to: recognize what’s really causing them to struggle the most, reflect on the impact of that struggle, and finally—the most important step—how to redirect toward finding the resilience they need to grow through what they go through and create good from even the worst moments in life. Resilience isn’t a fixed trait that you are born with, like your eye color or the shape of your toes. Resilience is a skill that any of us can grow and develop with practice, and in Okay, Now What?, you will learn exactly how to do so.
