Encouragement Is the Greatest Gift
Helen Gibson MBE is an award-winning international business entrepreneur, Non-Executive Director, motivational speaker, author, coach and leadership expert.
With her first book “Go for Goosebumps; how to encourage yourself through life’s porridge and get more goosebump moments” soon to be published Helen has shared with us details of her talk about encouragement and how you can get some more of your own goosebump moments.
Go for Goosebumps! How to encourage yourself through life’s porridge and get more goosebump moments
This session is for anyone in need of encouragement and is about how to encourage yourself through life’s porridge and get more goosebump moments. Life can feel heavy-going as we live through a mental health emergency, the challenging backdrop of covid, cost of living crisis, climate crisis and increasing global conflict and insecurity.
Now more than ever, we all need encouragement and are desperate to get help, inspiration, and joy from wherever we can find it. Yet, this is at a time when many of us may feel unable to get the encouragement we need from our usual sources of family, friends, and colleagues, because they’re struggling too. With encouragement to help us through anything from the darkest seasons of our life to our everyday ‘meh’ times, this session offers an uplifting input to help us encourage ourselves when the going gets tough.
Drawing on her soon to be published book ‘Go for Goosebumps!’ Helen will share a collection of advice, observations, inspiration, notes, lists, thoughts, and stories. These are drawn from her business experience of working on the frontlines of health, justice, and international development in almost 30 countries, many of which are in the world’s trouble spots. From modern-day issues such as terrorism, corruption, cybercrime, pandemics, addiction and migration, the work of her company has affected thousands of people around the world by delivering meaningful, sustainable, and beneficial change. Inspired by this work, Helen’s session will provide self-soothing practical suggestions, words of encouragement and different perspectives from her book; all things she feels compelled to share, knowing that they will help others in the way that they have helped her.
