Charles Clark’s Inspirational Keynote
Through The Eyes of a Patient: Transforming Pain Into A Thriving Life
Once celebrated as one of the world's fastest men, Charles Clark faced such adversity at a young age. With national victories and participation in global championships, he stood on the brink of a promising career until a career-ending injury shattered his dreams, leaving him feeling purposeless. This sense of loss is a common struggle for many individuals post-injury as well as those who may deal with pain daily.
However, Charles came to realize that his adversity could be the catalyst for his greatest purpose yet: using his story to inspire and support those worldwide who shared his feelings and providing a patient's perspective on how providers can take ownership and play a key part of their patients' return to life.
Discover the alternative approaches Charles and his clinical team employed to manage his pain, overcome his pain, regain control of his life, and navigate the healing journey. Learn what helped Charles get back into the driver's seat of his life and get mentally well using self-therapy techniques.
Those in attendance will gain invaluable insights into:
- How clinicians can encourage transparent patient conversations to facilitate more open and honest discussions so patients feel comfortable sharing experiences, challenges, and preferences
- Identify alternative approaches to therapy practices and highlight the value of individualized treatment plans for better patient outcomes.
- Understand how the mental game is equally important to the patient's physical treatment plan.
- Identify key touchpoints and strategies for healthcare providers to pinpoint areas for improvement and take ownership of their patient's care and recovery.
