“As an element of the human condition, we will experience loss regardless of our income, social status, or educational background. But, what happens when the loss is a loved one? Where do we start our journey back to living life? In this compelling talk, Eric Hodgdon shares why survival is keeping us from living and what it takes to get up after life’s biggest losses.” Eric Hodgdon trains resilience leaders (and others who are stuck in struggle) to rise above the noise, see the beauty in life and thrive!
