Can you achieve your way to feeling whole? This conversation explores resilience, the relationship between adversity and our gifts, finding purpose through contribution, and learning to trust the wisdom within. Annie Perrin is a spiritual counselor, therapist, and executive coach who spent the first 16 years of her career as a psychotherapist before expanding into organizational culture and leadership. She's facilitated transformational programs and worked with leaders at organizations including Google, Apple, and PwC, and now leads her own practice and collaborates on initiatives that help leaders navigate complexity, uncertainty, and change with greater compassion and humanity.
