Pay attention to small openings

Resilience: Pay Attention to Small Openings Bold Living and Growth Expert: - The other day I presented my new workshop on resilience

to a group of medical residents. I was forewarned by the physician who invited me to present not to raise my hopes about the eagerness of the audience. “These guys are overworked, burned out, and probably a bit dubious about a workshop touting individual resilience when the ‘system’ overall encourages homogeny.”

“Got it,” I told her, undeterred by the challenge but aware that I would need to somehow address what I knew to be true for them right now: that even though I couldn’t change their specific culture, I could still help them develop strategies to better navigate the pressures of residency and beyond.
