What a busy and inspiring fall – I thought I had done ‘waves’ of presentations before as a professional speaker, but the wave these past few months has been “surfer-worthy” – I love it! Whether speaking to managers and leaders, physicians or other professionals, I’ve been struck each time by the humanity in the room – the openness and willingness (and need) to turn attention to resilience and its many facets, both on the professional and personal fronts. Here is a great article from Harvard Business Review – How our career affects our children.
