On March 23, 2018, I nearly lost my life. That day, I was leading a high-stakes panel discussion—while unknowingly in a life-threatening health crisis.

That moment didn’t just change my health. It changed my mindset. 

Endurance is not just about survival. It is about showing up daily with purpose, vision, and a refusal to settle.

I help business leaders do the same.

I have survived a number of traumatic experiences in my life. One of the most challenging times took place on March 23, 2018. On that day, I was responsible for moderating a panel discussion for a program that was being produced on the topic of growth through strategic sourcing and procurement. How I got through that panel discussion is a miracle. The fact that I am still alive today, is an even greater miracle.

I left the venue where the panel was taking place, and called the office to share that I was not feeling well. I thought that I had the Flu, but the Flu medication brought me no relief. The next day, I was unconscious, and in a hospital emergency room, fighting for my life. That day was the beginning of a journey to the best life that I have ever had. In fact, from that day forward, I have come to the realization that is what every day is, for each and every one of us. Each day of our lives, we have an opportunity to live our best life. That is what endurance is all about. Endurance is about pushing forward, on a daily basis, and striving for a great future.

Endurance isn’t just about surviving difficult times—it’s about thriving in every season of life, whether you’re facing challenges or enjoying moments of success. But how do we cultivate a mindset that keeps us steady, focused, and resilient?
