THE SESSION

Practical strategies for an industry built on change and pressure

Recently, Dr. Michael Pettinelli of The Resilient Force Project had the opportunity to speak with RE/MAX Alliance professionals during their Meeting of the Minds. He shared practical strategies for strengthening resilience in an industry where change, pressure, and uncertainty are part of the job.

A special thank you to the RE/MAX Alliance Virginia Beach team for the invitation, the conversation, and for capturing and sharing this great recap from the event.

Resilience can be developed, and practical tools can make a difference in how we live, work, and lead.

KEYNOTE GUEST SPEAKER

Enduring Resilience: Strength, Purpose & Connection

Dr. Michael Pettinelli shares his personal story of resilience through military service, major health challenges, career changes, setbacks, leadership, and the everyday realities of trying to keep moving forward when life does not go according to plan.

Using stories from his own life along with practical psychology, he introduces the Six Pillars of Resilience and how they have influenced his own approach to adversity, leadership, relationships, and personal growth.

The keynote explores physical care, psychological and emotional skills, values and purpose, accountability and self-forgiveness, social connection and belonging, and our connection with nature.

This is not a story about getting everything right. It is a real conversation about what resilience can look like over the course of a life, what helps when things get difficult, and how the practices we build along the way can help us better handle whatever comes next.
