Our guest today knows a lot about resilience, in fact 7 times world surfing champion Layne Beachley dubbed her the “Queen of Resilience.” David Goggins, arguably the world’s toughest man, calls her a “badass.” Whatever you call her, Stacey COPAS is resilient.
Left a quadriplegic and needing a wheelchair after a devastating accident when she was 12, she did not let this tragic accident slow her down. She has used her life experience to help organisations (such as Viacom, GM Holden and Flight Centre) & their people be more engaged, mentally resilient and productive.
