Resilience: It’s Not About Bouncing Back

Join us for this FREE event! Today’s landscape is one of unprecedented disruptive change. With little margin for error, leaders are expected to adapt to change and react to setbacks quickly. Unfortunately, the skills required to tackle these challenges, process quickly, and come back stronger require thinking in ways that are rarely mentioned in leadership programs. Resilience is arguably the most important skill for leaders today and no one is talking about it. Join Smeal alumna, best-selling author, and founder of LeaderShift Insights, Jennifer Eggers, for a conversation about the preparation required to increase both you and your team’s resilience before disruption hits. Alumni can network with each other before and after the program, and representatives from both Smeal Alumni Career Services and Penn State Alumni Career Services will be in attendance.
