We live in complex, powerful and challenging times. Resilience can help us navigate, thrive and even flourish as individuals, organizations and communities.
The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Aiveen (Ryan) Martin, a Wellness Consultant, Trainer, Therapist, Laughter Yoga Professor, and TEDx speaker, to our October 11 Black Hills PEN breakfast discussion: “Resilient Me.”

Join us as we briefly explore personal resilience and what it means for you. We will skim over the vast pool of resources we all have available to us — here and there diving a little deeper, to see how these tools can help us as individuals and in our communities.

The discussion is October 11 at Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity.  Continental breakfast will be served from 6:45 to 7:15 with the discussion from 7:15 to 8:15 am.  No cost!
