🔹 Why leadership isn’t about avoiding challenges but navigating them

🔹 The three leadership mindsets that help you thrive under pressure

🔹 A step-by-step approach to handling difficult situations like budget cuts and resistance

🔹 How to turn challenges into opportunities that elevate your credibility
