Explore the upcoming Lunch and Lead – a virtual “food for thought” series.

Resiliency and Mental Flexibility with Darnell Ross

How resilient are you? Are you able to roll with the punches life tends to throw at us? Resiliency is an important skill that allows us to be flexible when life knocks us down. While many people are naturally resilient, have no fear if you are not one of them. It is possible to strengthen your ability to not only survive the tough times but use them to strengthen your leadership.
