November 7, 2024
A quick note:
Cydney, Eric, Amy, Kimberly, Joel, Scott, and Holly,
Thank you so much for your commitment to building veteran leaders of resiliency. It is an exciting time for Assured Partners as you enter this new season of doubling revenue, training your teams, and implementing technology transformation to achieve your desired end-state.
I enjoyed our discovery call this week. I learnt more about each of you, the work you do at Assured Partners, and your goals for Resiliency, both personal and professional.
After our call, I spent some time writing a custom session description for my session talk: "The Resiliency Superpowers: How to Unleash Your Inner Hero and Master Your Environment".
The Resiliency Superpowers
How to Unleash Your Inner Hero and Master Your Environment
You are not alone if you are struggling with the pressures and rigors of a world on fire. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and burnt out in our fast-paced, ever-changing, relentless modern world.
Resiliency is crucial for recovering from setbacks and crises. The challenge isn't that we don't know HOW to be resilient; it's that we KNOW too much. We're drowning in a sea of information, misinformation, and disinformation, making it hard to discern what's truly important.
So, how do we uncover the essentials for building a resilient life, both personally and professionally, especially in the fast-paced environment of Assured Partners?
In this fun Table Talk, retired U.S. Navy Captain and former combat veteran Suzanne ‘Xena’ Lesko will share her hair-raising stories of adventures, danger, and chaos from around the world. She'll reveal the key superpowers and actions needed to become a Resilient Leader yourself and to overcome the specific challenges of a hectic high-pressure corporate environment, including burnout and post-traumatic stress.
Xena's presentation captures her jaw-dropping tales from her military career, personal life, and even her vacations!
Are you ready to unleash your inner hero?

Promotion and preparation
I strive to be the easiest speaker you’ll ever work with! I’m all about getting your audience pumped up and ready for the event. And I've got you covered in the excitement and adventure department.

Partnering with me as your keynote speaker includes much more than a 40-minute Table Talk. I'll collaborate with your team before, during, and after the event to help you make it a memorable and empowering experience.
Wherever possible, I will:
Meet with your team to prepare for the event and ensure that what I'm delivering matches your goals for the Table Talk
Provide a 2-week follow-on support for your employees, via email dialogue or a virtual session if desired
UNLEASH YOUR RESILIENT LEADER
I recently authored a chapter in Scott Manthorne’s The Military Effect anthology. The book shares authentic stories of 50 U.S. veterans, including myself, with each author providing unique insight into the challenges of transition and business success after service to our country. It includes powerful insights needed to become a more effective and resilient leader.
