Instead of downplaying the reality, tell it to us straight…
It’s the unknown that scares us. Show us the truth about our threats, and we will reveal the true reserves of our power.

Takeaways of Note:
Research found 2 primary drivers of resilience:
1. Resiliency is created through personal experiences (not a function of gender, age, nationality, etc.)
+
2. Degree of resiliency reflects how tangible the experiences/threats are (the more changes we absorb, the more resilient we are)
=
We humans do not function well when leaders gloss over reality (because then our imaginations run, and who knows what demons our mind’s eye can conjure)
