Uncertainty, anxiety, crisis, confusion: these are words many of us have been wrestling with in our daily lives as the pandemic has played out. Many have been in overdrive to mitigate against further risks in their businesses, organisations and personal lives.

We need to build our resilience and ensure our minds are equipped not only to manage through the current crisis but to lead for the future.
