You’ll Walk Away With the Confidence and Skills You Need to:

• Stay open

  • Learn from the past so you can act effectively in the present to set the stage for a promising future instead of ruminating about the past and agonizing with worry about the future

  • Experience a full range of emotions without being controlled by them and let go of struggles that can keep you emotionally hooked

  • Create psychological safety for everyone you work and/or live with

• Be aware

• Treat yourself with caring kindness instead of engaging in toxic self-talk and harsh self-judgment

• Stay cool under pressure

• Run multiple "what if" scenarios, unafraid to consider "wild" ideas

• Take personal responsibility even when things don't go right; and allow others to have failings and weaknesses, too

• Do what counts

• Say, "No matter what, we'll get through this"

• Face adversity head on, pivot in the face of unexpected disruptions, and take timely action

• Demonstrate deep empathy and compassion

• Find common ground, build a sense of unity-of-purpose and cooperation

• Practice what you preach by adhering to your core beliefs and values regardless of the situation
