Episode Synopsis

In my observations of professional life – both my own experiences and those of countless others I have encountered – I have noticed that our greatest periods of growth often emerge from what initially appear as our most devastating setbacks. This curious phenomenon, which modern psychologists have termed "post-traumatic growth," deserves careful examination, particularly in the context of our professional lives where the stakes feel simultaneously most concrete and most ethereal.
