" You can change the conference time zone to your local time zone in the upper right corner so there’s no confusion about start times. "

" When I think about resilience, I think about flexibility, like trees that bend in strong winds instead of breaking — that starts with mindset and communication. "

" Resilience is about more than surviving; it’s about growth in our practice and relationships. "
