The Bend Like Bamboo Blog.
Welcome to The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show
We discover that our greatest challenges often become our greatest strengths.
Each month, I sit down with remarkable leaders who've transformed adversity into triumph, sharing their inspiring journeys of resilience and renewal. Together, we explore the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and breakthrough moments that turned their setbacks into comebacks.
What you'll discover:
Real stories of people who've learned to bend without breaking, actionable tools to transform stress into strength, and evidence that when we change our story, we change what's possible for our health, relationships, and future.
Like bamboo, we're designed to be flexible.
When we embrace this truth, we don't just survive life's storms - we use them to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.
Join me as we explore how flexibility builds unshakeable resilience.
The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Featuring Mark Truelson, Speaker and disruption specialist.
Mark Truelson is not your everyday speaker. He leads from the heart and brings love and emotion to the normally sterile world of Corporate Australia.
He provides the tools to employees that can ignite the passion and overcome dormancy in the workplace - the very dormancy that fuels doubt, dismay, and even personal crisis.
The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Featuring Shannah Kennedy Life Coach and author of The Life Plan.
Clarity, direction, purpose. Those are the words Shannah Kennedy stands by. She had an incredible career in sports management and sponsorship working with over 100 Olympic and elite athletes until she hit burnout and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and depression. She hired a life coach for herself to shift out of the darkness, review, reset, and refocus her life. In 2000 she studied to be one of Melbourne’s first life coaches, focusing on coaching athletes into retirement after seeing so much destruction in their lives outside of sport.
