Join us on Zoom to hear from Julie Ashmore, COO of Muse Finance on the importance of resilience and how to grow your own.

Julie has over 35 years’ experience in banking and finance, had two children in 400 days and has skied to both Poles – all things which demand a high level of resilience!

Drawing from real life experiences she will answer the following questions during the session amongst many others

  • What do we mean by resilience and why is it important?
  • I’m just not a resilient person, can I learn to be one?
  • What’s the relationship between failure and resilience?
  • How can resilience improve physical and mental health?
