According to Harvard business school professor, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, surprises are the new normal and resilience is the new skill. A key finding from her research on great companies and effective leaders is that no one can completely avoid troubles, and potential pitfalls are everywhere. So the real skill is the resilience to climb out of the hole and bounce back. To discover how to go beyond simply bouncing back from adversity to truly thriving and contributing at a higher level as a result of obstacles you face, tune in for an inspiring interview with resilience expert, Wendy J. English. As Wendy says, our great ears don’t always come in packages we expect, as big challenges become our greatest gifts. Also, stick around until the end for this episode’s Mindfluence Success Challenge on how to put these insights into action.
