The Resilient Professional
Andrew D Pope

A no-nonsense, straightforward and practical guide to help business people develop a more confident personality and more emotional resilience in today’s increasingly stressful working world. With a foreword by Dr.P.Thomas. The BBC Wales Business Doctor. Some people bounce back from negative experiences better than before. Some become bitter, overwhelmed and stressed.

Increasing your levels of emotional resilience and self-confidence will create an inner strength and “bounce-back-ability” factor; allowing you to respond more usefully to whatever life throws at you. Unlike most people, you will take control rather than be controlled. How good will that feel? This practical guide can help you get there.
