SparkPost: Resilience Training Resources

Thank you so much for joining us for the resilience workshop. The primary goal was to give all of you the opportunity connect with and learn from each other. As I could only touch on a few key points, I hope you left with at least one action step you can take to retrain your brain and feel more in control of at least one area of your life.
