Dr. Annabel Beerel will be sharing with us on "Courage:  The Heart of Leadership"

"Courage is the secret to freedom and happiness," said the great Pericles, and "courage is existentially part of who we are," wrote the philosopher and theologian, Paul Tillich. Yet, courage in our rat race materialist world, is not that readily found. This talk covers our seeming loss of courage and virtue, explains what these terms mean, and explores how we might return to a society that is once more anchored in these life-giving principles. 

Dr. Annabel Beerel specializes in Leadership and Change Management. She is a highly experienced executive coach and educator. Annabel has worked with international corporations, as well as educational and non-profit organizations. She has been a Corporate Financier and Investment Banker in the City of London where she was actively engaged in business analysis, fund raising, merger and acquisitions and strategic planning. She founded and ran a highly successful international business in Artificial Intelligence and was the founder and President & CEO of the New England Women’s Leadership Institute, an organization aimed at helping women advance in their careers. 

Annabel has held a Chair in Ethics and was an Interim Dean at Wellesley College in MA and taught at Radcliffe College, Suffolk University, Tufts, and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Annabel holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Religion and Ethics, holds a Masters Degree in Transformational Psychology, a Masters Degree in Theology from Boston College, a Masters Degree in Creative Writing, and has pursued Advanced Leadership Training at the J.F. Kennedy School of Management at Harvard University. She holds an MBA with a focus on Corporate Finance and Strategic Management. She is also a qualified accountant, a certified Transpersonal leadership coach, a certified meditation instructor, and a certified spiritual counselor.

Annabel has written twelve books and is an active public speaker on a variety of topics.

Wildlife rehabilitation organizations are dynamic, mission-driven nonprofits on the front lines of protecting wild animals and the ecosystems we all rely on. Powered by generous donors, dedicated grants, and passionate volunteers, they provide compassionate, round-the-clock care to thousands of injured and orphaned animals every year. Beyond rescue and recovery, these organizations inspire our community through hands-on education about coexisting responsibly with the wildlife around us. This vital work demands expert training, rigorous permits, and an incredible investment of time and heart—all focused on one powerful goal: returning healthy animals to the wild and safeguarding the natural balance that strengthens our entire community. Rotary member Kelli Scarlett, a committed rehabilitation volunteer, will share firsthand stories of this impactful work and explore how ethical decision-making in wildlife care reflects the principles of Rotary’s Four-Way Test.

Wellbeing, Purpose, and the Ripple Effect of One Inspired Choice

Lori reveals how transformation begins with one inspired choice: the choice to live an extraordinary life. When individuals choose alignment, joy, and renewed wellbeing, everything expands—clarity strengthens, purpose awakens, and the energy to uplift others flows naturally. Drawing from her own reinvention and the transformational retreat experiences she curates, Lori shows how honoring your whole self sparks the confidence, creativity, and compassion that create meaningful change in the world.

This uplifting session guides individuals to reconnect with their values, celebrate their strengths, and cultivate micro-moments of self-love and self-renewal that fuel purposeful action. When people feel centered and aligned, their impact radiates outward—into their families, workplaces, and communities—creating a powerful ripple effect of possibility and service. Attendees leave energized, purpose-driven, and ready to elevate the world around them through the extraordinary life they choose.
