The podcast “Keep yourself” – about how you maintain calm, optimism and vigor in a challenging world.
In my podcast, I talk to a number of experts and leaders about mental resilience.
Together with them I try to get closer to what resilience is, why it is important and, not least, how you and I can strengthen our mental resilience so that we can function and thrive in a world that increasingly challenges us .
I ask: How do we preserve ourselves, that is, our calmness, optimism and vigor, when we are faced with pressure and adversity?
