In crisis

Every crisis has much to teach us.  Some lessons have significantly broader applications.  My good friend Davia Temin is a brilliant psychologist and coach.  Faced with the arrival of megastorm Sandy, Davia wrote a most insightful piece about resiliency and to my mind, a brilliant lesson in crisis management preparedness.  Rather than paraphrasing her thoughts, I invite you to read her entire piece.  I think you’ll find it very rewarding.
