REAP: Resiliency. Equanimity. Anchors. Perseverance
An unwavering aphorism – we reap what we sow drives both performance and peril. What does it mean to reap? - “to receive an award (or loss) based on your efforts”. But how? Deploy REAP by practicing a resilient spirit, holding a calm equanimous demeanor, anchoring an unwavering professional ethos and persevering with an unwavering focus. Your pathway to success, REAP.
