Mail from NG Comms: A personal Update
We obviously talk a lot about resilience in this issue (you will recognize it as soon as you have read the title of the MAG), but it’s also been something that we as a team and I personally had to deal with all the time. So, what do I mean when talking about “gaining resilience” in the context of working life at NKG? There are, of course, different ways of approaching this term. For me, it is not only about the ability to adapt, recover, and grow in the face of challenges or significant stress. Resilience is also about how we, as a team and as a group, lift each other up, celebrate our achievements and help each other to thrive in times of uncertainty. And it is thus also about using the tools we have and sharing them.
