Stacey Copas' life changed dramatically at the age of 12, after a dive into a swimming pool left her quadriplegic. Despite the struggles and dark moments she experienced following the accident, Stacey one day made a decision to turn her life around. 

Stacey shares with DAWN founder, Dai Le, that practicing gratitude and gratefulness enabled her to pivot using her life experiences to inspire workplaces and people around the world. Being a keynote speaker, author, athlete, and resilience facilitator are just some of her incredible achievements.
