Keep Calm and Carry On! Advice for thriving in turbulent times - Dr Joyce Knudsen
This was another really pleasant chat with Dr Joyce Knudsen. As we are living in some fairly unusual times I wanted to draw on Dr Joyce's 7 decades of experience. To understand what tribulations she had seen and how we could apply these lessons to the current turbulent times we live in.
As patterns in society tend to be quite cyclical. I think it's important to learn from the previous generations to better understand how we can navigate current challenges with more ease. I hope you find the insights useful in your own life.
Please be aware we had some technical issues at the end of the show so it cuts off quite abruptly.
