The Hope Forward Advantage: A Framework for Stability, Agility, and Possibility

Stress. Challenge. Change. Uncertainty. These forces shape our lives, and too often we believe they force a choice: performance or wellness, success or integrity, results or relationships, achievements or purpose. The truth is, they are not mutually exclusive. When we know what to do, when to do it, and why it matters, they become interconnected; the foundation for living well and working well.

In this keynote, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, award-winning researcher and author of I Hope So: How to Choose Hope, Even When It’s Hard, introduces a practical, research-driven framework for moving through disruption with clarity, courage, and confidence. With more than twenty years of research in psychology, education, and human development, Dr. Robyne equips audiences with evidence-based strategies they can apply immediately with:

Resiliency as the foundation: steady ground in uncertain times
Stress as the fuel: energy for clarity, focus, and growth when harnessed wisely
Hope as the navigation: the compass for bold direction and meaningful possibility

This is not hype or empty motivation, it is the science and practice of showing up well. Known for delivering science with heart, Dr. Robyne is both relatable and deeply knowledgeable, someone who gets it and knows how to make it work in real life. Participants leave ready to steady themselves, harness stress into momentum, and move forward with hope; the force that defines and shapes the future we choose. It’s time to gets our hopes up!
