To wrap up the year, I want to point you to Scott Barry Kaufman’s recent Beautiful Minds Newsletter post, “From Trauma-Informed to Adversity Informed.”
This piece delves into the concept of shifting our perspective from merely being aware of trauma to actively understanding and leveraging adversity as a powerful catalyst for growth and resilience. By adopting an “adversity-informed” approach, individuals and communities can transform challenges into opportunities for development and positive change.
This piece aligns with our definition of the entrepreneurial mindset by highlighting the importance of resilience and the capacity to thrive despite difficulties. By fostering an adversity-informed outlook and focusing on benevolent childhood experiences, we can cultivate environments that support innovation, adaptability, and long-term success.
