Susan joins the show to discuss building resilience, why resilience is the #1 trait leaders need during this time of change and uncertainty, and why leaders who operate with greater coherence/resilience are able to access the highest functioning parts of the brain—enabling them to think clearly under pressure and create more innovative solutions to problems. Susan also shares proven techniques to be able to develop the capacity to prepare for, recover from, and adapt in the face of stress, challenge, change or adversity.
