People who maintain an “attitude of gratitude” tend to be happier and healthier than those who don’t, according to a study showcased in the Wall Street Journal.

Fulfill Your Destiny Founder Karen Mertes will share her message on the importance of counting your blessings and being an everyday "H.E.R.O." during a special Thanksgiving Hillsborough Power Lunch at our new location: Chart House Tampa. She will share her thoughts on how character drives destiny and turning one’s worst day into one’s ‘best bad day’ can catapult people to levels of success never imagined.

About Our Speaker:

A 20-year veteran of the United States Air Force, Karen Mertes illustrious military career was cut short in, 2007, when the vehicle she was driving was struck by a drunk driver, causing her severe brain trauma which impaired her ability to function, as well as her memory and her ability to process information. Forced to retire from the armed forces, Mertes founded her own 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Fulfill Your Destiny, which is dedicated to assisting others whose career life paths have been permanently altered by injury. The initiative provides scholarship and financial assistance, career guidance, and other support to individuals faced with situations much like her own.

In addition to leading Fulfill Your Destiny, Mertes also generously volunteers her time and talents on the Boards of WEDU Community Action, Hands Across the Bay, and Dress for Success. She serves as a mentor at the Young Women’s Leadership Symposium and also supports a number of Tampa Bay community-focused organizations including MADD and Bay Area Legal Services among others. Most recently she was named as one of just seven Unsung Hero honorees at the 2011 Fearless Women’s Conference.
