The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center hosts a free talk on July 17th as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom.

This month’s speaker is Andrew Pierce on the topic “Rise Through Challenges: Turning Failure into Fuel for Success."

“Strength isn’t in avoiding challenges," says Pierce, "it’s in facing them head-on, shifting your mindset, and discovering that great things happen when you press forward."

In this talk, explore the five pillars of resilience, the Event-Thought-Outcome framework, and growth through failure. Gain actionable tools to transform challenges into opportunities, build mental strength, and thrive with confidence in any situation.

Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. To get the Zoom link, contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.
