“A tree that is unbending is easily broken.” Tao Te Ching -- Lao Tzu.

One of Aesop's fables, “The Oak and the Reeds,” reflects this same idea- that a rigid oak will break in a major storm whereas the flexible reeds live on. We cannot avoid life's storms, yet we can find ways to weather them and perhaps come out the other side a bit stronger.

I believe that the key to this is resilience. It is the ability to spring back from adversity. To bend but not break. To face the winds of life while also being strong in one's core and true to one's value. And after the storm quiets, to stand up straight and tall, unbroken.

My goal is to help you build your resilience.
