This episode is an important and difficult discussion about grief including the impact it can have on our careers. When Courtney was in her early twenties, her mom, Lois, died suddenly. Courtney had to find her way to the other side of this traumatic life event. Grief forces us to approach life situations differently and Courtney knew she had to reframe her thinking and evaluate how she saw her life moving forward. For Courtney, running was her safe place. The escape she felt while running and then through cycling, helped her to get through. Courtney’s determination, passion and resilience were defining pillars in the creation of LOST Cycle–a safe space to move, feel and escape. Lois continues to be an important part of the script, but the movie that is Courtney’s life continues to be shaped and defined by her resilience, her zest for life, and her full-on heart. Courtney joined us earlier this season on Episode 5 where we learned about her business LOST Cycle. (find that episode here: S3: Ep 5).

“Find out who you are at your core, keep returning to that, and then go out into the world and live that person.” Jan’s career is nothing short of inspirational. She sussed out what she wanted to do and went after that with absolute determination.

And if that weren’t enough, Jan and her business partner, recognizing an important niche and need, started the organization Captains & Poets a school program all about SEL (Social Emotional Learning).

"Do what you love". Although cliché, it is easier to thrive when you are passionate about what you are doing. It changes how you look at your world. Abby has always loved accounting and although her journey and career path has not been straight forward, she has found her way back to the accounting discipline. On this week’s episode of Career Resilience with Jann Danyluk, Abby Acham and Jann discuss Abby’s impressive career path so far. A defining moment in high school set Abby apart when she opted out of the gifted program and was sent to her ancestral home, Antigua. This shift in environment allowed her the opportunity to reflect and grow both personally and in her career. Abby is also a cannabis and mental health advocate and an integral part of the organization, Afro Canada Budsistas. Their mandate is to normalize the cannabis plant for black women. The experiences black people have with cannabis, pre- and post-legalization, is not the same as other ethnicities. Abby’s path remains challenging, but she continues to prove her resiliency as she adapts to her changing circumstances. #blackexperience #accounting #careerresilience #fordkeasthumanresources More on Ford Keast Human Resources can be found here: https://www.fordkeast.com/services/human-resource-consulting/ If you enjoyed this podcast or our YouTube video and need support in your own career resilience please do get in contact with us at HR@fordkeasthrc.ca We would love to hear from you!
