  • The CX Live! Episode 93: The Resilience Roadmap: Driving the Boat, Not Focusing on the River with Spencer Waldron
    Jan 15 2026

    In our first episode of 2026, Spencer Waldron, CEO of Cenrox, shares a deeply personal story that led him to uncover ways of managing difficult situations with new behaviors and choices. He walks through many elements that contributed to creating his Resilience Roadmap. From understanding neuroscience and the power of our eight emotions to identifying new habits that offer self care that we need in challenging situations, Spencer offers ways to navigate these situations, i.e. driving our boat while not focusing on the river. He also reinforces the fact that resiliency is not about having it all together. It’s about moving forward anyways and making a daily impact. As he says, ‘we are capable of handling more than we think we can’.

    Highlights

    • Neuroscience and Emotions
      • Thousands of ‘Feelings’, only 8 ‘Emotions’ which are physical
      • 5 are negative, 2 are attachments: Love/Trust and Joy/Excitement
      • Only 1 other emotion can flip negative to positive
      • Offer ‘Surprise’ early in presentation to establish emotional attachment
      • Aristotle: Emotion + Trust = Persuasion
    • Think of presenting as a gift = ‘a present’
    • Resiliency from Spencer’s son’s accident
      • Buddhist book: ‘Living a Life With Heart’
        • The river: cannot control where it goes
        • The boat: control what you do
        • In each situation, ask yourself, “Is it the River or Boat?”
    • The Resilience Roadmap
      • Resilience is a choice
      • Steps taken to get through - not about perfection, self care and daily impact
      • Put yourself in challenging situations
    • PTSD & Psychological Safety
      • Remove from the trauma (i.e. at work: operationalize, relationships, self care)
    • Comedy Improv Example
      • Challenging, humor and a form of therapy

    Spencer’s work isn’t just based on theory or technique. In the past year, his perspective on communication and leadership has been shaped by navigating a serious family crisis, which led him to explore what resilience really looks like under pressure.

    • Get started:
      • Life purpose: Who am I? Why am I here?
      • Core values: What is important to me?
      • Letting go: Trust yourself
    • Managing our day to day lives:
      • Know your purpose and what you bring to the room
      • Prioritize your core values, nurture yourself with daily anchors (i.e. morning coffee, breathing, meditation, afternoon break, gym, etc.)
      • Set your intention:
        • For connection but know it has “nothing to do with me”
        • What you want others you interact with to feel
    • Embracing AI
      • Shifting to the next era of being paid for our energy / vibration
      • Will not take over, will allow us to decide what we do to be fulfilled
