However, this requires an intentional approach that engages all of the key components of resilience. 

Welcome back to the Mission First People Always Podcast!

Dr. Gene Coughlin is a Marine Corps officer and combat veteran (We love our veterans on the Mission First People Always Podcast and we sincerely thank them for their service). He has also worked in a variety of for-profit and nonprofit organizations to witness the value of resilience firsthand.
