Applying Resilience: A Conversation with Swati Bhatia

"Do you want to be safe or do you want to be free?"
As a child, Swati learned from her parents about resilience. With a father who lived through refugee camps to a mother who taught her about pushing through regardless of experiences, Swati learned early to fight for what she wanted.
After taking time off to care for her children, she put her foot down and followed her principals. Unwilling to take a step back after a break, Swati stuck to her values and would not compromise.
Join in on the conversation with Pratima Gluckman and Swati Bhatia as they discuss how to use your support systems and apply resilience and find the purpose to keep moving on.
