From abandonment to empowerment: a journey of resilience | Cordan Haveron | TEDxAmoskeagMillyard

In this powerful and deeply personal talk, Cordan Haveron takes us on an extraordinary journey through a life marked by profound challenges-foster care, transracial adoption, addiction, racial discrimination, and the harsh realities of war-to a place of healing, triumph, and purpose. From surviving as a newborn abandoned in a hospital to becoming a veteran, father, entrepreneur, and mentor, he shares how four pillars of resilience-relational, street, resource, and rock-bottom-transformed his life and how they can transform yours too. This talk is a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise above adversity and create a life of meaning and impact. Cordan Haveron earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Southern New Hampshire University and is currently completing his Master of Science in Organizational Leadership at the university. A proud U.S. Army veteran, he is the co-owner of Vetrun Movers and the founder of the Comeback Kid Mentorship Program. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
