What does a boulder in Colombia have to do with leading teams through times of uncertainty and monumental change?
Everything.
You see, there are times when resilience and grit are not enough — when it’s not the science of leadership that can solve the issue. It’s the art.
Will we be ready to respond when circumstances demand that our leaders and teams uncover a version of themselves that feels unfamiliar and extraordinary?
And how can we reignite a sense of purpose, passion and enthusiasm in the midst of chaos and disruption?
Can we master the intangibles required by leadership that allow us to inspire our teams, rather than infuriate or disempower them?

TESTIMONIALS
“IT’S NOT IN SPITE OF THE BOULDERS THAT TEAMS SUCCEED. IT’S THANKS TO THESE BOULDERS THAT LEADERS INNOVATE AND THRIVE”.
Paying it forward….For Meridith and her daughter, EPIC goes beyond today’s leadership……
“We build resilient leadership ecosystems.”
We partner with organizations committed to strengthening resilient leadership at every level — from executive teams to future generations.
Through keynote engagements, executive advisory partnerships, and sponsorship of the One Million Boulder Futures Initiative, companies align internal leadership development with meaningful community impact.
Our work operates on two horizons: strengthening the leaders guiding today’s organizations and equipping the next generation with the inner resilience to lead tomorrow.
Life’s challenges shape who we are—but what if children could be empowered to face those challenges with strength, resilience, and confidence?
That’s the heart of My Friend the Boulder, an empowerment book collection created by Meridith Alexander and her daughter, Schuyler, to equip the next generation with the tools they need to thrive.
This project speaks to the purpose and passion of this dynamic mother-daughter duo, often referred to as the Dream Team of Resilience and Positivity — combining Schuyler’s powerful ROAR platform (Raise Awareness, Open Doors, Amplify Voices, Redefine Accessibility) with Meridith’s deep understanding, after years of coaching high achievers, that so many adult challenges are rooted in limiting beliefs formed during childhood.
Together, Meridith and Schuyler— who not only survived the “unsurvivable” but has gone on to be crowned Ms. Wheelchair Florida 2025 — have set a bold mission: to empower one million children by February 19, 2027, exactly 11 years after the boulder that forever changed their lives.
Through live book readings at schools, organizations, and healthcare facilities, Meridith and Schuyler bring their stories to life.
In costume as Princess Happiness and the Wise Fairy of the Valley, they show children that challenges don’t define them—their strength does.
My Friend the Boulder goes beyond storytelling, providing kids with actionable tools to build confidence, resilience, and self-worth, helping them overcome challenges now and in the future.
With the support of donors and sponsors, Meridith and Schuyler are able to expand their reach and distribute these empowering books to underserved children.
Their mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of circumstance, has access to the tools they need to turn life’s challenges into stepping stones for success.
Together, Meridith and Schuyler are inspiring a generation of fearless, resilient, and empowered leaders—one child at a time.
