When the Hardest Things Happen: Creative Approaches to Grief, Loss, and Change
In the hardest moments, traditional language often fails, especially for children and families. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, this keynote introduces creative, developmentally attuned approaches to grief support, including storytelling, ritual, and expressive tools that help people process what cannot be fixed.

Grief, loss, illness, and major life transitions show up in every workplace, yet most leaders are unprepared to respond.
