NC graduates seeking confidence and clarity during difficult times won’t want to miss NC’s next Alumni webinar series featuring Paralympian, keynote speaker and mental resilience coach Kevin Rempel.
Rempel, who an NC alumnus (Business Administration – Marketing, 2005; and Event Management, 2009) will share three key ways to achieving high performance on a daily basis from The Resilience Toolbox – a framework to develop mental resilience.
The one-hour workshop, geared to all NC alumni, will be held via Zoom on February 3 from 11 a.m. to noon. The event will also involve NC Student Administrative Council president Tom Price who will introduce the guest speaker.
Late last year, Rempel also participated in an Ask an Alumni “episode” hosted by NC/NCSAC/Alumni Relations designed to connect current students with the expertise of College alumni.
“Kevin was a guest in our Ask an Alumni via live Instagram geared to students in December and his message/enthusiasm was so inspiring that we knew we had to have him back to tell us about The Resilience Toolbox,” said alumni engagement officer Jana Boniferro.
NC Alumni may register for the upcoming virtual event at niagaracollege.ca/ces/event/alumni-the-resilience-toolbox-02-03-2021/.
