Overcoming Emotional Overload
Embracing Adversity to Create Resilience There are two ways to look at the ups and downs of business: either see it as a series of unfortunate events or embrace it all as full of rich experiences. When Vivian unexpectedly lost her husband to cancer, she found she lost a great deal more than her life companion. Unbeknownst to her, her home was in foreclosure, there was no money in any of the bank accounts, and her once millionaire husband was financially ruined. Instead of cratering as a result of these overwhelming events, she embraced her emotions and challenges, leaned into her grief, and used the obstacles she faced as learning opportunities. She rebuilt her life, businesses, and emotional health.
Vivian Cobb
Owner, Speaker
Vivian Cobb is a keynote speaker and consultant who helps organizations of all sizes boost morale and productivity by getting to the heart of it — emotions in the workplace. She guides leaders and teams to embrace and express their emotions in a healthy way to foster effective communication and feedback. That reduces turnover and helps to retain top talent by creating a healthier and more supportive culture and happier teams. She is a compelling storyteller and presenter who began her career in video and film production before moving on to the real estate industry. Her ability to connect and communicate led her to public speaking. She frequently presents for organizations such as Toastmasters International (earning her Distinguished Toastmaster) and the Rotary Club, as well as serving as a TEDx speaker coach. Vivian’s presentations weave engaging tales from her own life (from a stressed-out single mom to a happy wife, to a grief-stricken widow) into inspirational life lessons. Having leveraged these lessons for her own personal and professional success, her mission is to inspire others to find the same self-sufficiency and honest acceptance of life’s realities. Vivian guides her clients to confront the misconceptions about emotions (they’re not bad and should not be stuffed) and she challenges them to view their emotions as having everything to do with how they maneuver through their lives, including at the workplace. Creating a safe and supportive place for people to be fully themselves is key to creating a place where people want to work.
