“嘿,你们!”

Embracing her southern roots, Carrie Hill welcomed the attendees of the Impact DEN Event on March 19 at UVU。 Carrie delivered a powerful and inspiring presentation focused on how resilience, adaptability, and leveraging personal strengths can help individuals create fulfilling careers, even in the face of setbacks。 Whether you were in attendance or missed the event, here are some of the key takeaways from Carrie’s message。

你对韧性的定义是什么？

Carrie challenged the audience to define resilience in their own terms, emphasizing that it is 不仅仅是要坚强或克服困难。 Instead, resilience is about 适应，学习，在挑战中茁壮成长。 它是关于走人生的弯路，并把它们变成成长的机会。

认识到自己在适应能力方面的优势 

One of the most empowering parts of her presentation was the reminder that resilience is already within us。 She encouraged attendees to reflect on past challenges and recognize the ways they have already demonstrated resilience。 By acknowledging these strengths, individuals can build confidence in their ability to navigate future obstacles。 You develop resilience with practice rather than avoidance。 如果你在抵抗，你就不可能有弹性。

职业弹性：超越技术专长

Carrie emphasized the importance of 软技能—like communication, adaptability, and problem-solving—在建立职业生涯时。 A key takeaway was the idea that 许多职业是建立在软技能之上的，而不仅仅是技术诀窍。

She highlighted real-world examples of professionals who have built impactful careers by leveraging their ability to network, negotiate, and inspire。 She urged attendees to recognize that success is often about how well you 以新的方式调整、适应和创造价值。

员工 can expect that 2/5 of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated between now and 2030, the Future of Jobs Report says。 This will require a significant amount of upskilling and reskilling。 For those feeling unsure about their qualifications, she reassured them that their interpersonal skills and experiences are valuable assets for career resilience。

面对拒绝，克服困难，找到前进的道路

Carrie shared deeply personal stories of applying for jobs, facing rejection, and even experiencing financial hardship, including a period of living on welfare。 These moments of struggle shaped her resilience and ultimately led her to where she is today。 Her message was clear: 被拒绝并不能反映你的价值——它会引导你走向更伟大的东西。

韧性不仅仅是“埋头苦干”

She challenged the common notion that resilience means 只是更努力地工作或承受更大的压力。 Instead, she reframed it as the ability to 暂停一下，反思一下，然后采取有意的行动。 Sometimes, resilience means knowing when to step back, regroup, and 用你自己的方式重新定义成功。

韧性是在造就我们的时刻发现的

嘉莉最后强烈地反思了一下：

"One year from now, I want to be able to look back at my life and say, ‘You believed in yourself and it worked。’"

 

This closing sentiment captured the essence of her talk: Resilience is about believing in your ability to navigate uncertainty, trusting the process, and knowing that every small step forward matters。

最终的想法

凯莉·希尔的演讲让与会者感到鼓舞和鼓舞。 Her journey is proof that setbacks don’t define us—our response to them does。 Whether you are a student, a professional navigating career transitions, or someone looking to redefine success, her message remains clear: 拥有你的故事。 利用你的优势。 相信你的旅程。 Resilience is not just about surviving—it’s about thriving。
