HIGI- What if?

If you had the opportunity to learn in advance that one of your genes puts you at risk for a health issue that could change the course of your life, what would you do? Would you rather not know, and continue living as you are?  Or would you rather be forewarned?

Our speaker, Sandy Robb, a Toastmaster and a storyteller, recently was faced with that kind of decision. She will share her situation with you, and her reasons for the choice she made. Afterward, she encourages you to discuss your thoughts on how you handle the “what if” situations in your life.

HIGI- Deep Thoughts

Have you ever had to deal with something that did not go according to plan? Something  you couldn’t change or fix until you changed your approach?

Sandy Robb, our presenter, will share experiences from her years as a scuba instructor,  most recently focusing on teaching people with disabilities to dive. The challenges her students have overcome and the resilience they have demonstrated have taught her valuable lessons in perspective, persistence and positivity.

Sandy is a Distinguished Toastmaster, and a PADI scuba instructor with forty years of diving experience – thirty of that as an instructor. She has been diving on six of our seven continents – ranging from diving with sharks in tropical waters to diving under ice in Iceland and in Ontario.
