​How can positive psychology help us grow and flourish through adversity in transformative ways? What is the “building effect” that strengthens our adaptive coping capacity when we face challenges? In this WBI/JCC online webinar, Kara shares stories of her journey and inspires us to define our own roadmaps to resilience, through practices for cultivating a spiritual growth mindset that enhances grit and grace.

Servant leaders who seek to help create a more just and caring world are pretty well versed in 'leaping tall buildings in a single bound'. Just as super heroes do, they routinely take on daunting challenges that require courage, sacrifice, ingenuity, resilience, and agility--often with the well being of others at stake. As a result, stress, overwhelm and burnout (aka symptoms of Superhero Syndrome) have become familiar foes that are widely accepted as a natural part of promoting the common good. In this interactive session, we will re-examine the lofty standards servant leaders hold themselves to as well as their impact. Through simple yet engaging exercises, we will also explore mindfulness, self compassion and authenticity as keys to developing the ‘inner resources’ needed to nurture and offer the best we have in ourselves.
