Courageous Leadership: How gratitude rewires your brain

Join ELCA Coaching every Wednesday at noon MST, 11am PST, as we practice Courageous Leadership. Log in info is on the ELCA Coaching website.

Join us Wednesday, November 23, 2022 when we will hear from Christina Costa, MSc, a Psychology PhD candidate at University of Michigan.

When a psychologist who studies well-being ends up with a brain tumor, what happens when she puts her own research into practice? Christina goes beyond the "fight" narrative of cancer -- or any formidable personal journey -- to highlight the brain benefits of an empowering alternative (hint: gratitude) to fostering resilience in the face of unexpected challenges.

Christina is most passionate about inclusive learning in higher education. She teaches psychology to undergraduate and high school students. In 2020, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the right hemisphere of her brain. As a neurodivergent educator, she hopes to inspire others to celebrate neurodiversity and give hope to other brain cancer and brain tumor patients. She loves hippos, is Beyoncé's number one fan, and would do anything for her students.

We invite you to bring a spirit of curiosity to these gatherings and to all aspects of your life. What are you noticing? Where is Spirit moving? How are you being invited to participate?

Join us WEEKLY on Wednesdays at 1pm Central as we practice COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP. The login information can be found below and on the ELCA Coaching website: https://www.elcacoaching.org/events/courageous-leadership
