“After so much change over the last few years, my priorities changed for my career. With that change, I knew I would have to change industries."

How Nature Can Make You More Resilient

Alisha Leytem, YP Sponsor, Wellness Coach, & Author

Even though we have more technological advances than ever before, people are unhappier than ever. Studies show that the average American spends a total of 93 percent of their lives indoors (87 percent inside buildings and 6 percent in cars). Never before in history have we been so out of touch with the natural world.


Read Alisha’s latest article about How Nature Can Make You More Resilient. “As professionals, I believe that we need to re-examine our relationship with nature. Instead of viewing nature as something that is ‘not professional,’ we should instead start to see nature as an incredible and needed professional tool to support our mental resilience in order to become better leaders.
