In this webinar, Pathfinder Leadership Associates will share some of the challenges they experienced on and off the battlefield, and how they overcame them by developing individual and team resilience. In today’s uncertain world, resilience is an especially important skill to hone because it helps leaders adapt and thrive amid changing circumstances. In fact, leaders at all levels should make resilience a critical component of their business model and culture.

This event will be moderated by Stephen Virgin, Director of Character Leadership and Director of the Centre for Agile Learning, CRA
