A Practical Keynote on Overcoming Adversity

Equal parts heartfelt, humorous and actionable, Channing’s signature keynote equips audiences practical strategies to navigate uncertainty, make confident decisions and create momentum for the future.

It all began in 2011…

At 26 years old, Channing Muller had two heart attacks just one month apart.

Like any unexpected setback, they forced her to ask a question we all face at some point:

“Now what?”

While she first answered that question with, “I want to run again,” the lessons she learned getting from cardiac rehab to 15 (and counting!) marathon finish lines have become the approach she now uses to navigate challenges in business and life.

Along the way, she discovered that whether you’re recovering from a health scare, leading a team through uncertainty, growing a business or pursuing a goal that feels just out of reach, the process is remarkably similar.

Through heartfelt stories, relatable humor and practical takeaways, Channing shares the lessons that helped her stop focusing on everything that could go wrong and start focusing on what she could control instead.

In this Ted Talk-style session, attendees will leave with practical strategies to:

→ Move through uncertainty without becoming overwhelmed by the bigger picture

→ Make confident decisions when things seem out of your control

→ Create forward momentum through setbacks instead of feeling stuck

No matter what challenge comes next, audiences will leave better equipped to answer one simple question:

“Now what?”

“Your honesty and transparency are so powerful and your positivity is infectious. There is no doubt in my mind that our community has been impacted by your story.”

– Hannah Litman, The Heart Foundation
