945 Rob Clark – Resilience

Resilience

In this interview, I chat with Rob Clark about Resilience including takeouts from his book Everyday Resilience for Everyday Heroes which highlights the four major facets of resiliency: Adversity, Perspective, Passion, and Appreciation. An important conversation that will help provide a framework and structure to help us all move forward with confidence.
