For the last Virtual Author Visit of August, tune in on Thu., Aug. 28 at noon for a conversation with organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich about her book Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (And why resilience alone isn’t enough). We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. But according to Dr. Eurich, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty we’re experiencing today. This timely discussion is set to unlock powerful new ideas about how to show up as our best selves. Register for the access link.
