Defining Moments

Abstract

Crisis moments can knock us off course, drain our energy and destroy our confidence. But sometimes crisis moments are the making of us; sometimes they enable us to develop new sources of resilience and demonstrate to us that we have reserves of inner strength that we were not fully aware of. Key tests are how we recover from crisis moments that have knocked us sideways and how we embed the learning from crisis moments in which we made more progress than we expected.
