Today, we welcome guest Doug Alford.  Before his stroke two years ago, he served as a mediator helping organizations and individuals navigate change; now, he applies those same tools to his own recovery.  Doug shares candid reflections on fear, vulnerability, and the challenge of rebuilding a life forever changed.  Join us as he offers five tools for adapting when life shifts in ways we never chose.

Community Conversation Prompt:

• How has vulnerability become one of your strengths?

Guest's Tools for Processing Change:

1. Clarify Mission and Purpose
2. Cultivate Determination and Will
3. Practice Flexibility and Adaptability
4. Uphold Respect for Self and Others
5. Engage in Clear and Consistent Communication
