Cultivate Your Mental Resilience to Make Lemonade
Squeeze Harder
HerJourney: A Professional Development Series for Women in Skilled Trades
This energizing session explores what resilience really means… and what it doesn’t. We’ll unpack common myths around self-care, mental toughness and wellness, replacing buzzwords with actionable insight. Participants will learn how to keep their finger on the pulse of their own mental health, spot early warning signs of emotional fatigue and take meaningful steps to recharge. We’ll also explore cognitive distortions — those sneaky, unhelpful thinking patterns that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us — and how challenging them can boost both clarity and confidence. Most importantly, we’ll break down resilience into practical, personal components, helping each participant define it for themselves and walk away with tools to build it on their own terms.
About our Guest Speaker: Elizabeth Eldridge helps people help people. As a Certified Psychological Health and Safety Advisor, corporate mental health trainer and professional speaker Elizabeth’s core belief is that we all possess the ability to help someone who’s struggling. When armed with the right tools we can make a profound difference in what that journey looks like. She has had the great pleasure of delivering this message across the country through keynoting, training, consulting, random conversations with the person sitting next to her on airplanes and even a police officer who stopped her for speeding – just about everyone is touched in some way by mental health. (And yes, she was let off with a warning!) Elizabeth is passionate about demystifying and destigmatizing mental health, and empowering people to help one another by having what many imagine to be difficult, awkward, uncomfortable conversations. Spoiler alert: they don’t have to be! Elizabeth looks forward to putting this important topic out into the open with you
