ILEA Explores: Re-Imagining the Dream

On November 25th we welcome para-athlete Jennifer Brown to our ILEA (virtual) stage. Jennifer recently competed in the Tokyo 2021 Paralympic Games in athletics [discus], the completion of a journey that had to be re-imagined more than a few times.

Jennifer will discuss the importance of mental resiliency and adaptation to change. How to accept the uncontrollable and thrive despite challenges and how to embrace experiences that are nothing like you envisioned. She reached the biggest athletic stage in the world but in circumstances that changed every aspect of competing - what can event professionals learn from this ability to re-imagine the dream again and again?
