Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (And Why Resilience Alone Isn't Enough)

As an HR leader, you carry the emotional weight of leaders, employees, and executives – with little space to set it down. You’re expected to steady the organization, so others don’t burn out, even as demands on you escalate. While you work to build human-centered cultures, your own reserves may be quietly slipping away.

For decades, resilience has been framed as the antidote: bounce back, toughen up, keep going. But research by New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich reveals that resilience is a limited resource. In today’s relentless world, even the most resilient leaders are hitting their ceiling just as pressure peaks.

What if there was a practice that didn’t replace resilience, but complemented it? This session introduces becoming shatterproof – a science-backed roadmap for transforming chaos into clarity, capacity, and control.

Drawing on decades of scholarship, her five-year original research program, and al life-defining health crisis, Dr. Eurich reveals what shatterproof people do differently. Instead of powering through stress, they see it as a signal to deepen self-awareness – proactively pinpointing what needs to change before burnout or bad decisions take hold.

You’ll leave with a fresh, practical framework you can apply immediately to:

  • Identify your unique stress triggers (and the limits of generic solutions)

  • Surface the unmet human needs that drive overwork and burnout

  • Interrupt self-limiting patterns, and replace them with clear priorities and purpose-fueling habits – without doing more

This is the difference between bouncing back and growing forward from life’s challenges. When you become shatterproof, you’ll turn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy, and chaos into confident leadership – for yourself, your team, and your organization.
