What does resilience really look like at work, and why has it become one of the most critical leadership capabilities today? 

In this episode, host Julie Develin sits down with Sam Simmons, former Chief People and Internal Operations Officer of the LPGA, to explore resilience not as an individual trait, but as a strategic advantage organizations must intentionally design.  Drawing on Sam’s experience leading people and culture in professional sports, tech, and global organizations, the conversation reframes resilience as something built through trust, transparency, and thoughtful leadership. Julie and Sam unpack what resilient cultures feel like to employees, why change should be expected rather than feared, and how leaders can bring people into the process even when decisions are hard.
