What if it all Goes R.I.G.H.T? : “The Little Things Matter” - Emphasis on Wellness
In this transformational keynote, Angela Gargano shares the powerful story of how one split-second ACL tear on national television forced her to redefine her identity, rebuild her strength, and reimagine her purpose. What began as a devastating moment turned into the foundation of her signature RIGHT™ Framework—a step-by-step method that has helped thousands of people rise from burnout, overwhelm, and setback. Through raw storytelling and vulnerability, Angela brings the audience into the moment when everything she worked for was ripped away—and how that moment, rather than breaking her, became the catalyst for everything that came next.
Designed for leaders, high achievers, and everyday people navigating wellness, leadership positions and personal growth, this keynote challenges the idea that success comes from massive leaps or perfect plans. Instead, Angela reveals that real transformation comes from the little things: choosing to check in with yourself, moving your body for just 30 minutes, reframing a failure, or taking a single step before you feel ready. With humor, heart, and science-backed insight, she bridges the gap between inspiration and implementation, offering tangible tools that can be used immediately—at home, in business, or in leadership.
Angela closes by asking a bold question: What if the thing you think is breaking you… is actually building you? Through her RIGHT™ Framework, she invites audiences to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start creating momentum with small, intentional actions. This isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about breaking through.
Key Takeaways:
-You are not defined by your breakdown—you’re shaped by how you rebuild
-Small, consistent actions matter more than big, perfect ones
-Recognizing how you actually feel is the first step to change
-Focusing on what you can control creates power and peace
-Adaptability is more important than having a flawless plan
-Confidence is built by taking bold, imperfect action
-The hallway between where you are and where you’re going is where your next level begins
-You already have everything you need—it’s just time to take the first step
