This entertaining story could change your life. You could just listen to it for fun, but there’s more to it than you might expect. The 15 ways to develop your resilience are based on the experiences of people who have faced hardship and thrived, and on extensive research on resilient people and groups, published over the last 30 years. The Village That Could is ideal for individuals, teams and organisations wanting to achieve more when the going gets tough.
