A Purposeful Journey of Resilience with Jennifer Lynn Robinson

How can you be more resilient? Jennifer Lynn Robinson is the CEO of Purposeful Networking and a motivational speaker about change and resilience, following her own recovery and reinvention of a near death accident. Jennifer gave a TEDx talk on change and disruption in June, 2020 and is a media contributor who has been featured both locally and nationally.

Listen to this interview with host Natalie Benamou and Jennifer Lynn Robinson as they discuss, “A Purposeful Journey of Resilience”.

Tips for Your Journey of Resilience:

>> Be persistent. Jennifer spent 5 years pursing her dream to give a TED Talk.

>> Use visualization. Seeing herself on stage kept her going.

>> Hyper-focus your goals. It was important for Jennifer to get her message out there.

Feel inspired by this conversation about resilience, reinvention and transformation.  Jennifer and Natalie share their personal challenges after they each suffered a brain injury the same year.  

After being told she might not want to be a speaker, Jennifer used visualization to see herself not only as a speaker, but what it would be like to be on a TEDx stage. Jennifer discovered her super power is networking and did a pivot from consulting to speaking about networking. Today, Jennifer provides resources to individuals and organizations about networking and how to increase your connections.

“Even though the thing that you think is going to be a success is not going to happen in the time frame or in the way that you envisioned it, it doesn't mean it's not going to happen.” -Jennifer Lynn Robinson
