Strategies for unimaginable adversity 

Presented by: Ms. Ann Hovey, Advocate, Speaker and Author 

Date: Wednesday, June 03, 2026
Time: 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. EST

This presentation by Ann Hovey shares her approach to managing life’s adversities, through a framework she calls the Resilience Strategy Progression Pyramid. The author draws upon intense personal experiences, such as her daughter’s medical crisis and professional hurdles, to explain how adversity, while unavoidable, can also create opportunities for growth and positive outcomes when approached with intention.  

The presentation outlines a four-level progression that begins with establishing a hopeful mindset then moves through understanding the situation, finding solutions, and maintaining long-term well-being. Ann also shares practical, easy-to-apply strategies for each stage of the framework. Overall, the session highlights the importance of addressing stress and challenges proactively rather than leaving them unresolved. 

Learning objectives: 

1. Understand the critical relationship between adversity resolution and well-being 
2. Learn a framework that can help guide your response to adversity using the Resilience Strategy Progression pyramid 
3. Build a practical toolkit of strategies to help navigate a difficult journey with hope and perseverance  

About the speaker:

Ann Hovey is an engineer and statistician by training, which means she was trained to look at a problem —no matter how big—and start assessing the types of strategies one could use to solve it. It was a personal, life-and-death health journey that truly tested this mindset. Facing an emotionally devastating prognosis for her daughter, Ann Hovey felt helpless. Never had she cared more about an outcome and never had she felt so unprepared. Believing that hope was a critical ally, Ann embraced any coping strategy that nurtured it. In a hopeful frame of mind, strengths and skills are available to be used. The result was an exceptional outcome that many didn’t think was possible—and a profound realization that hope isn’t just a feeling; it’s an essential fuel. As the author of Going for Hope and a coach dedicated to helping others find their own unique path to success, Ann Hovey now shares the practical tools she used to navigate the heaviest of times. In this webinar, you won’t just get “inspiration”—you’ll get a clear, down-to-earth framework for facing adversity with a steady hand and a focused mind.
