[Infographic] Different ways that you can have a breakthrough transformation.
On the “Co-Creating the New World” podcast, Dawn Strickland told Minda Aguhob about a tornado that ripped through her town in Georgia. It happened in March 2020 — on the same day as the first day of lockdowns and social distancing guidelines. Dawn was ending her flight attendant career, when she pulled an elderly woman out of physical harm’s way.
Buying tarps, fixing roofs, Dawn and her partner kept helping their neighbors, during and after the tornado. Now they work full-time in disaster support. From a dual crisis at the worst possible moment, Dawn gave birth to a new career. While leading Georgia’s Burners Without Borders chapter, an innovative disaster organization, and assisting during disasters as an insurance adjuster — she is even looking to build a community hub in her town.
…crossing the “Psychological Gap,” where people experience a breakthrough shift in thinking.
In his essay “The Long Disaster: Resiliency Through Variety of Effort,” disaster worker Nick Farr calls Dawn’s success crossing the “Psychological Gap,” where people experience a breakthrough shift in thinking. From the burden of simply responding, Dawn went to the empowering choice of giving birth to a better future — an experience described in detail in the podcast.
You can rise to challenging times… and even do better. There’s so much growth that’s possible from this new phase of COVID with reopening, vaccinations and hope.
In this blog and new podcast, we’ll look at different ways that you can have a breakthrough transformation now. In the infographic above, we’ve outlined different challenges that can cause breakthroughs, similar to what the Psychological Gap did for Dawn. From these we’ll open up conversations about building a better life as we move out of COVID.
