Part 3: Creating space for resiliency to grow. Resiliency One-on-One: Host Imana "Mo" Minard with Rasheda Hatchett.

Mo Minard talks with Rasheda Hatchett, MN, RN, the CEO of Hatchett Media about the importance of organizations creating safe spaces for their people to engage in the personal growth that supports resiliency. Individuals need the space to decide how they will move forward through their struggles, and to figure out the tools they need. Part of this process is deciding whether we already have the tools, or if we also need to ask for help, and to do this we need the people around us to meet us where we are in our walk with resiliency. Sometimes we need to step outside of our lives, take a pen and paper, and take an inventory of where we are, and then we can see the blind spots where growth needs to take place. This is a daily decision we can all take, to take big and bold steps towards the lives we wish to lead. Rasheda suggests we start by taking this inventory, and then using this process of putting pen to paper to choose where it is we want to go next.
