Dr. Amir Georges Sabongui Speaking Topics

Manage the Unmanageable
What do we do when our wonderful plans in a known, predictable, and seemingly controllable world get suddenly shattered and we are catapulted into a world of chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity? One option is to fall apart under the pressure and the tumult, and to shrink in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Another option is to use these crises as defining moments that can foster a period of post-traumatic growth, discover our latent genius, and emerge transformed at every level
• professionally, relationally, and emotionally.
Not only are we equipped to navigate chaos and uncertainty, but we can even grow through adversity. Instead of allowing these crises to bring out the worst in us, the unavoidable catastrophes of life can also inspire the best in us, and propel us onto nothing less than a Hero’s Journey of unprecedented growth, and perhaps even help us illuminate the path for others stumbling in the darkness.
