Description:
How is it that some people persevere, remaining steadfast and persistent no matter what? How is it that, even with failures, betrayals, and setbacks, they still keep going, working for what they care about? In this live session based on her new book Perseverance, best-selling author Margaret Wheatley offers guidance to people everywhere for how to persevere through challenges in their personal lives, with their families, at their workplaces, in their communities, and in their efforts to make a better world.
Perseverance is a day-by-day decision not to give up. Meg does not offer the usual feel-good, rah-rah messages. Instead, she focuses on the situations, feelings, and challenges that can, over time, cause us to lose heart or lose our way. When we feel lost, overwhelmed, betrayed, or exhausted, we need to know we have a choice for how we respond. And we have to nurture the rewarding times, when we experience the joy of working together on something hard but worthwhile, when we realize we’ve made a small difference.
In this session, Meg will explore questions such as:
- How can we not fall victim to exhaustion and despair?
- How can we preserve our energy, our motivation, our faith?
- How do we live with or transcend dynamics—such as fearlessness, guilt, joy, jealousy—that support or impede our efforts to persevere?
