Inspiring Conversation with Laura Cobb

Who are you when things get hard?

It is relatively easy to talk about our values, character and resilience when things are going well. The more interesting question is what happens when they are not.

When we are under pressure. When uncertainty takes over. When our usual ways of coping no longer seem to work.

On October 15th, I’ll be joined on Inspiring Conversations by Laura Cobb, PhD, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor, coach and educator with more than 26 years of experience working with people navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, recovery and major life transitions.

Laura recently wrote something that caught my attention:

“Personality is what shows up on the good days. Character is what shows up on the bad days. Integrity is what shows up every day.”

That feels like a conversation worth having.

What does pressure actually reveal about us?

Can we learn to respond differently when emotions are running high?

Where is the line between showing ourselves compassion and taking responsibility for our behaviour?

And perhaps most importantly, when life gets difficult, is resilience simply about getting back to who we were, or can difficulty change who we become?

Laura has spent more than two decades working alongside people when life has become complicated. I want to know what those years have taught her about our ability to cope, change and grow.

Because perhaps the real test of who we are is not how we behave when everything is working.

It is who we become when it isn’t.

Join us for another Inspiring Conversation on October 15th.
