Unshakable Resilience: Leading with Purpose During Times of Uncertainty

When the tides of change rise like a storm, most leaders cling to what’s familiar. But the ones who thrive build resilience that anchors them.

In this unforgettable keynote, Rene Godefroy strips resilience of its buzzword status. No jargon. No fluff.
