Why is understanding emotional agility so important? With more than 20 years of research, David found that no matter how intelligent, resilient or creative people are, when they ignore how situations make them feel, they miss opportunities to reach their full potential.

By understanding emotional agility, she says, individuals learn how to adapt and thrive in stressful situations. Learn how to navigate life’s twists and turns with an open mind for success.
