When Something New Happens—Listen | PTBYB Live

When something new happens—on top of everything you’re already dealing with—what happens to your resilience?

In this episode of PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST® Live, Rick Cram shares a grounded, real-time reflection on the Listen Path of Intentionality—and how listening becomes more than a communication skill.

It becomes a response.

In the wake of a recent Stroke, Rick explores what it means to:

• listen to what is happening in the moment

• navigate new layers of pressure and uncertainty

• move from urgency to calm

• gain Clarity when answers are not yet available

• act with resilience in real time

This conversation is not theoretical.

It’s a lived example of resilience being practiced—moment by moment.

What You’ll Take From This

• Why listening is not just a skill—but a response

• How listening creates calm, clarity, and insight

• What keeps us from listening—and how to move through it

• How listening helps you act with confidence in uncertain moments

• A reminder that your best is greater than the pain

Rick briefly shares that he recently experienced a stroke and is in recovery.

This episode is not about the details of that experience—but about how resilience is practiced in real time when something new happens.
