Why adversity is necessary for growth
Has your life unfolded in a straight line? The truth is: it doesn’t for most people, either at work or in life. In fact, a bit of adversity is necessary for growth. The resistance that comes with adversity can galvanise you and push you forward. It can help you make different decisions, raise your determination, or even change your game.
Adversity and resistance is sometimes exactly what we need. Without it there would be no need to learn anything new or do anything differently.
In this Podcast, Nikki Bush explains her thoughts and insights about why adversity is necessary for growth.
The conversation covers:
- Why adversity is necessary for growth

“You make the path by walking on it. Keep walking.”
