Resiliency Ninja with Allison Graham

Resiliency Ninja with Allison Graham

Obstacles will either stall your progress or propel your profits. How a leader shows up and deals with day-to-day stressors of work and life will directly influence the teams around you. A Resiliency Ninja masters everyday resilience to metabolize stress faster and to operate from a place of optimistic, joy-fueled confidence. In this podcast I interview professionals to share their private stories behind the public success stories, and give to you tools, ideas and inspiration for a resilient life. Tune in every Tuesday for an interview and every week for FU-CHAAA Fridays.
