Dr. Craig Dowden describes his coaching practice as bridging the gap between what science knows and what leaders do. What science has found, he says, is that harnessing resilience is two-part process: first, finding our way back to baseline – i.e., where we were before our crucible hit; and second, charting a course to move beyond that point. To not merely bounce back, but bounce forward. "We as human beings," he tells us research has shown time and again, "are far more resilient than we give ourselves credit for."   To learn more about Dr. Craig Dowden and his research on resilience and positive leadership, visit www.craigdowden.com
