About Amanda Lindhout:

For 460 days, Amanda Lindhout was held hostage in the heart of Somalia when a famine reporting trip turned into a struggle for survival. Nothing she had learned in her past would prepare her for the next year and half, and only the extraordinary mindset she developed would get her through this ordeal and back home.

Today, Lindhout has decoded that mindset and shares the steps we can take to better navigate change, uncertainty, and the unexpected in every aspect of business and our personal lives.
