A Cheat Code for a Lifetime of Success

Keynote  
Program  
(created for College audiences) You’re in the game! Success comes with challenges and achievements, and young people have a lifetime of those ahead of them. A session for today’s high-achieving students feeling the pressure to succeed. Students are struggling with mental wellness and today’s digital overload, constant connectivity, machine learning, FOMO culture is throwing fuel on the fire. Unless students plan to sit on the sidelines and watch others succeed, they’re in the game. Nina prompts young audiences to rethink achievements and challenges, demonstrating that knowing how to navigate both the highs (Now what?) and lows (Now what?) is like having a cheat code! The session is relevant, actionable, uplifting and delivers lasting impact. Using her own stories as a D1 student athlete, her years being ‘popular’ on TV, and decade as a ‘successful’ Tech executive, Nina shares the failures and challenges that accompanied her success and takes young audiences into their own possible futures full of successes and failures. Nina transforms young audiences, from stressed and overwhelmed to empowered to take control of their future, and their mental health, so they can confidently be themselves in today’s competitive, comparative culture. Audience Outcomes: -Discover their unique approach to handling success and failure. -Uncover their success cycle loop, to embrace the stress continuum. -Learn THIS Resilience framework to navigate the unexpected in the future. -Create their lifetime timeline, to envision their long lives and endless possibilities ahead.
