Drawing on his twenty-year journey from college dropout to doctoral student, Alasdair Green explores how resilience develops through perseverance, relationships, and the support of others. Through the story of a fourth-grade student who transformed when he finally felt safe at school, Green reveals how acts of compassion can help others discover their own strength. His talk challenges us to recognize that resilience is something we build together, share with others, and pass along to those who need it Alasdair Green, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, is an educator driven by empathy, taking chances, and a deep belief in connection.
