Inspiring Speaker on Resilience, Mental Health and Mindset

In a world where challenges are inevitable, most of us are taught to survive them and wait for better days. Claire Masikewich is a keynote speaker on resilience and mindset who teaches audiences how to thrive right in the middle of hard times instead.

With actionable insights and personal stories, Claire gives corporate teams and individuals a practical framework for building the mindset and mental resilience to find clarity and control in the moments that matter most — not after the hard part ends, but while they're still in it.

Redefining Resilience With Real Stories and Practical Strategies.

Claire doesn't believe resilience is about bouncing back. She believes it's about living IN the hard: letting go of what you can't control and mastering what you can, right in the middle of it. Drawing on her own lived experience, she gives leaders and teams practical tools they can use in real time, not just once the dust settles.

Claire blends honest storytelling, a good dose of humour and strategies people can actually use. Her keynotes go beyond a feel-good moment. Audiences leave with a new way of thinking that sticks long after the event.

Claire Masikewich is redefining resiliency. A former Director of Marketing and Communications, she built her career leading through high-stakes change — before her own life gave that framework its hardest test.

Her journey took a profound turn when her daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Faced with the unimaginable, Claire transformed her pain into purpose, launching the Strong Like Sloane Foundation to fund pediatric cancer initiatives.

Through it, Claire learned that resilience isn't something you find after the hard part ends — it's something you build and live inside of, right in the middle of it. She now teaches that same framework to audiences navigating their own hard seasons.

One thing I’m learning in my first year as a full-time speaker... Summer is a little quieter when it comes to speaking engagements. And that’s hella scary. When I first made the leap into speaking full-time, I wasn’t quite sure w
Here’s the truth. We will ALL face challenges. It’s what connects us as humans. There are a lot of things that are going to come our way that we have no control over. But living a life of sadness, “why me?” or always stewing
