Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 197 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!

 

This week, we are thrilled to welcome Andrea Davis, Founder, President and CEO of The Resiliency Initiative. Never doubting her own capability, Andrea has gone on to leadership roles with FEMA, Walmart and The Walt Disney Company. Andrea reminds us that while we can never control the bad day, we can always control our next move. She encourages us to ask questions first when building a response plan - and to stay flexible. She and Mark talk about the overlap between Crisis and Emergency Management, Governance and more!

 

Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!  We sure do appreciate it!
