How to Carry On When Change Smacks You in the Face

At times, we all face the kind of disruptions in our life that knock us down. Sure, the leadership books all say that's how we develop resilience. But what do you do when you get lost on the very road you thought for certain was the right one?
You keep going. The best way out is through. 

In this episode, Beverly describes the personal challenge she has been walking through for the last several months. She hasn't previously posted about the flooding issues that have resulted in the loss of her home but is doing so now for several reasons:

1) Everyone is going through hard things. Social media often doesn't reflect that. But Beverly hasn't wanted to contribute to the bad news everyone is bombarded with. 

2) Authenticity is a valuable leadership attribute. Keeping it real is not as easy as it seems. 

3) We all learn together when challenges are shared. 

We can be hard pressed to find the good in bad situations. That's when we need to hang around people who pour water on the fires of our fears and pour gasoline on our passions and our dreams.  Beverly wants to be that kind of leader.
