About Lucy Hone
“She was fantastic! I knew from our pre-event call she was wonderful, but she truly exceeded expectations. She brought such warmth and light to the conference and was incredibly thoughtful in how she engaged with everyone. She was genuinely present, took the time to connect, and made attendees feel both seen and heard. I can't recommend her highly enough. She brought a refreshing energy and a real sense of (again) light to the event.”

Three Secrets of Resilient People
Based on Lucy’s TED Talk with over 9 million views, this keynote unpacks the three evidence-based strategies used by the world’s most resilient people - those who manage to face the worst and somehow keep going. It’s warm, moving, and deeply practical.
Takeaways from this keynote:
- Reframe resilience with confidence and hope - a new understanding that humans are biologically wired to adapt to change, that struggle and difficult emotions are a normal part of coping, and that resilience does not require things to feel easy.
- Build mental agility via three proven strategies they can apply immediately - helping them respond more flexibly to disruption, manage emotional load, and keep moving forward during periods of sustained pressure, change or uncertainty.
- Feel better equipped to support resilience in others - whether leading teams, working with students or clients, or caring for people navigating ongoing challenge or loss.
