Norfolk Network events

Many people are struggling with lockdown. What is becoming clear, is that those who have consciously developed a resilient mindset before the current crisis appear to have been able to use the time to pause, reflect and rethink what truly matters. Those who have never thought about it, have found the situation much more challenging.

So what is resilience? Why does it matter? And how can you cultivate more of it yourself?

In this session Marie shared with us the 6 key principles to building resilience and how we can use these to flourish personally. She also revealed the lessons that leaders in the fashion world are discovering about what makes them resilient, and how they are rethinking and re-building for the future.
