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.
