The Architecture of Resilience: Turning Personal Adversity into Purposeful Impact
There are moments in life that crack us open and, still, we show up at work.
Tracy Jordre, AIA, LEED AP, an award-winning architect and workplace strategist, steps forward with a rare kind of courage. In this deeply personal talk, she shares what it means to lead in the professional world while quietly navigating one of life’s most difficult roles: being a parent to a child facing significant mental health challenges.
What unfolds is not a story of balance, but of breaking, rebuilding and redefining. Tracy reflects on the physical and emotional toll of striving for success in a system that wasn’t built to hold the weight of invisible struggles. She reveals how that journey reshaped her as a leader, designer and human. She explains how this experience forced her to rethink everything she knew about the modern workplace.
Through vulnerability, wit and hard-earned wisdom, Tracy challenges us to examine the cost of conventional work culture. She dares us to imagine a new way forward. One where well-being is not a buzzword, but a design principle, creating environments that actively support mental, emotional, and physical health, resulting in high-performance workplaces.
This is more than a professional development session. It is a wake-up call and an invitation to transform how we build, lead and care for one another at work. Attendees will leave inspired and equipped with practical ideas for creating healthier workplaces and cultivating cultures that prioritize people—not just productivity—ultimately supporting well-being at every level.
**Content Advisory: This session contains references to mental health struggles and caregiving, including themes of parental trauma and burnout.
