From life coach Kate Gladdin, this easy-to-follow, 3-step plan for how to bravely face life’s unexpected challenges is the foolproof solution to developing resilience.
When motivational speaker Kate Gladdin was 20 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 and, finally—the most important step—how to redirect towards 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.Kate Gladdin is an international speaker; certified life coach; resilience specialist; podcast host; and author of Mini Habits for Teens, The Teen’s Guide to Social Skills, and The Social Skills Workbook for Teens. Through her keynote talks, online coaching and podcast show, “Okay, Now What?”, Kate has helped more than 250,000 students and young adults build the social and emotional skills they need to become more resilient so they can better handle the unexpected in life. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Kate now lives happily in the USA with her husband Nate & their fur baby, Jaku.
