Managing Change and the ROR: Return On Relationships with Mark Black
In this episode, Roxanne engages with heart and double lung transplant survivor, Mark Black, about resilience, living one day at a time, and overcoming adversity. They delve into the challenges of maintaining connections during tough times, discuss the importance of letting children experience failure, and explore Mark's guideposts for resilience. The conversation also touches on Mark's work with companies on employee resilience and change management.
Quote: “My summary of what resilience is, is that it’s not bouncing back…it’s about growing through.” Mark Black
Managing change is not always easy, but it is necessary in order to grow and maintain a healthy and resilient mindset. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome Mark Black to share his story of embracing adversity to thrive through change and talk about his brand-new book, The Resilience Roadmap.
Mark is a heart and double-lung transplant recipient, turned 4-time marathon runner. A resilience expert, coach, and author, he helps people “Thrive in Challenging Times.” His programs provide the tools to transform your adversity into your advantage. Mark doesn’t just teach resilience, he embodies it. Born with a life-threatening heart defect, Mark underwent two open-heart surgeries before the age of one. He battled his condition and its limitations for twenty-two years until he was forced to deal with the biggest obstacle of his young life.
His doctor informed him that his heart was failing, and without a rare and dangerous heart and double-lung transplant, he would not see his 25th birthday. In 2002, Mark was fortunate that a suitable donor was found. He not only survived the surgery, but less than 3 years later, Mark became the only man in history to run a marathon with someone else’s heart and lungs.
