Are You Truly Resilient or Just Coping?

Speaker: Carol Putnam

Many entrepreneurs create their own business because they want to have more control over their work and their life. More control doesn't necessarily mean fewer challenges, less stress, or a better work/life balance. Most people learn how to cope to "get through" a tough time.  Coping is a short-term strategy. Being resilient is a long-term life strategy. 

In this interactive session, learn the components of resilience, assess your own resilient behaviors, and develop an action plan to shift your behavior from coping to resilient.
