あらすじ・解説
Sometimes building resilience requires us to slow down instead of trying to go faster. Alexis Jeffries learned this firsthand when she was laid off from a job and realized she needed to pause and figure out what was next. In this episode, Alexis talks with Dr. Kelly Culver and Jenn Quader about her TEDx Talk: “Rest as Resilience.” She shares her unique process for building resiliency and getting comfortable with silence. Alexis also discusses the challenges facing people of color in the tech industry, and she explains the importance of both rest and storytelling for breaking down barriers and unlocking resilience.
