company hopes to survive and thrive in these turbulent times. This is impacting
all types of companies - big and small - and regardless of industry or

Most experts agree that increasing resilience in individuals and
organizational cultures is one of the best ways to combat an unknown future.

Building & Influencing Your Powerbase Connections are our most important form of currency. We can lose our jobs, and we can lose our assets. But if we have a great powerbase and know how to leverage our influence, doors will open and we will recover quickly. Similarly, within our organizations, if we have a strong powerbase, we get things done more easily and greater opportunities come our way.
