Awakening Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Adversity is a part of life—whether it shows up as personal hardship, professional setbacks, or unexpected challenges, everyone encounters it. What matters most is how we respond.
In this inspiring and practical keynote, audiences gain insight into how to meet adversity with strength, clarity, and confidence. With warmth and wisdom, Annabel Chotzen shares strategies for shifting from discouragement to empowerment, and from feeling overwhelmed to taking purposeful action.

This keynote offers clear guidance on how to build resilience, respond effectively to stress, and transform difficult experiences into opportunities for growth—both at work and in life.
A memorable and uplifting message, this keynote reminds us that resilience isn’t just something we’re born with—it’s a skill we can learn, develop, and use to move forward with courage and determination.

Handling Change in Challenging Times
Whether it is change in your organization, your job, a relationship, or your health, major transitions are difficult for everyone. Do you collapse under pressure or do you relish the opportunity for growth? Your attitude, perspective and actions make all the difference.
When change happens suddenly, it’s like a volcano erupting -- the turmoil disrupts everything. The lava eventually cools but we can become stuck and not able to move forward with our life.
Annabel will show you how to see the positive benefits of change and how to turn the disruption and pain into new opportunities and a new life. She will teach you how to see what’s good about change and how to create options and solutions. You will be able to see things differently, start fresh and move from tragedy to triumph.
When you have mastered the skills to effectively deal with professional and personal change, you will be more adaptable, more resilient and achieve even greater results in your life.
This keynote will give you the tools, resources and practical strategies to handle difficult challenges and create a lasting and meaningful outcome.
Note: keynotes, workshops, coaching, group facilitation, and
workforce development are available either in-person or virtually.
I highly recommend Annabel Chotzen to anyone who is planning a conference or a meeting in Hawaii and I recommend her to anyone that wants to add the Aloha Spirit to their conference beyond Hawaii.
