Demystifying resilience into actionable steps creates transformation.
I know the power of resilience. I want people to experience that power and then use it to transform their lives and workplaces. Doing so means practicing resilience as a skill. We can create our own resilience routines and practices. I practice and grow my resilience through the 3Rs — Reflect, Release, and Restore.
Read about the 3Rs in “Own Your Story: Empower. Connect. Create Change.”
