The freedom to live big,

no matter what life throws your way.

Adventure, adversity, and well-being preparedness resources for the everyday.

“In life, exercising a high degree of personal agency is the difference between surviving and thriving. High Agency Human is the handbook for that difference - clear, grounded, and freeing.”

- Dr. Kerry Burnight, NYT Best selling Author, Joyspan: The art and science of thriving in life's second half.

Bring High Agency to Your Organization

The ability to respond effectively to adversity matters at work just as much as it does in life.

I deliver practical, engaging presentations and workshops for healthcare professionals, first responders, universities, leaders, businesses and community organizations.

Topics include:

  • Built For The Storm: Build The Buffers To Adapt, Respond, and Thrive when Life Happens

  • Before The Crisis: Six Actions to Strengthen Your Readiness for Mass Casualty Incidents

These topics are available for keynotes, professional development sessions, workshops and organizational book programs.

Whether you're planning a conference, leadership event, or professional development day, these talks are designed to leave audiences with ideas they'll remember, and actions they'll take.

A Practical Perspective. Earned Through Experience

I'm Vickie Lanthier. A military veteran. Registered Nurse. Author.

My perspective on adversity comes from a combination of lived experience and professional work. I've deployed overseas with the military, worked through unexpected challenges, built businesses, changed careers and learned that capability is developed through experience and deliberate action.

I don't believe in waiting for the perfect circumstances to start living.

I believe in building the capacity to meet life as it comes, and making the most of the opportunities along the way.
