Lois and I discuss the night of a brutal attack and how it transformed her life. She shares her journey of how she went from victim to advocate.
********
I am Lois Wagner – your friend for forgiveness - and I help you move from victim to survivor to thriver and beyond to freedom after facing a life or business challenge or adversity.
I do this by building your resilience and grit, developing a growth mindset, energizing your mojo, and learning to forgive. I do this via one-on-one coaching, group masterminds, and keynote presentations.
I teach boys and men to be BRAVE to fight toxic masculinity and to eradicate sexual and gender-based violence.
My work is based on my personal major adversities, challenges, and life experiences and I focus on helping you forgive yourself and others. I was brutally attacked, raped (by a stranger), and left for dead, I lost a business and went bankrupt, I was forced into retirement, and experienced many other challenges.
I learned to forgive (I forgave the rapist and the business partner who betrayed me) and to move on to a more rewarding and fulfilling life.
I have published my book – Walking Without Skin: A journey of Healing – From Fear to Forgiveness to Freedom. I gave a TEDx talk on the topic.
.I have a podcast - Walking Without Skin - Finding Peace after Pain. This podcast is about vulnerably sharing our stories, with advice and tips on overcoming. Sharing our voices with authenticity, to tell our stories from the heart with courage. We talk about hope and recovery, about overcoming loss, changes, challenges, and adversities. We will walk without skin.
I am a South African businesswoman with extensive local and international speaking, human resource, training, business management, project management, marketing, consulting, and leadership coaching experience.
