We’re all in a storm these days especially considering today’s contentious political, racial, and pandemic climates. Building resilience in life isn’t as easy as it sounds, but with the right support, it might actually be simpler than you think. In The Resilient Leader, author Christine Perakis shares strategies you can use to navigate life and business. Christine tells her tale of surviving not one but two Category 5 hurricanes. But she does so by weaving leadership principles into her tale.
Christine
Perakis has created seven resilience strategies that you can use to get through
whatever your disruptive environment throws at you to create life and career
invincibility and come through any challenge thriving.
In The
Resilient Leader, she discusses:
