Can you recall a time when you witnessed the remarkable achievements and success of someone and considered them to be fortunate, blessed, or lucky?
If we want to find the true essence of one's success, we might take a closer look at the habits, discipline and fortitude that were the pillars of resilience.
Colleen Jones has a list of successes, notoriety, and awards. Whether she is known as a TV personality and first female sports reporter with CBC Halifax, her role as the skip of two women's world championship curling teams, or her recent appointment to the Order of Canada, Colleen knows what it takes to lean into the challenges and trust the process.
Known early in her career for her bold and sometimes unconventional moments on the ice, Women's curling was rapidly evolving, as was Colleen.
So, in 2010 when Colleen went toe to toe with life-threatening bacterial meningitis, she relied on the strength, courage, and confidence she had come to trust as a professional athlete.
Join us for this insightful and meaningful conversation with a Canadian legend as she shares how the game of curling taught her about life and resilience.
