In these times that are defined by uncertainty…
Have you ever wondered if there is a resiliency quotient? I have. I theorize that there are a set of values that make one person more resilient than another, but what are they?
Do you think resiliency and values are correlated? I hypothesize that resiliency and values are directly correlated and impact each other.
…But are they? In the wake of challenge and hardship, resiliency gives one the strengths to revisit values and check-in with them – a values audit.
Join me as I chat with different friends, peers and leaders and we discuss their values, resiliency, and leadership. Over the course of many conversations, I hope to answer my burning question and many more.
During episode 7, season 2, I was so honored to interview my friend, Tom Thomas. Tom is the CEO and Co-Founder of Votegrity, my former MBA peer, and I sit on the founding team with Tom at Votegrity.

I so LOVED his thoughts on the "impossible being something that hasn't been solved yet..."
