READ SHAWN'S NEW BOOK
Resilience in Motion
What does it take to lead when the stakes are high and the answers are uncertain? Resilience in Motion shares the powerful firsthand experiences of six public health leaders navigating the nation's first confirmed COVID-19 case in Snohomish County, Washington, while facing unprecedented organizational challenges.
Co-authored by Shawn Frederick and five fellow leaders, this compelling book explores the essential principles of resilience, adaptability, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure. Through real stories, difficult lessons, and practical insights, it reveals what it truly means to lead with courage and compassion.
More than a leadership book, Resilience in Motion is a guide to building stronger leaders, healthier teams, and resilient organizations.—because resilience isn't just about surviving a crisis. It's about preparing to thrive through whatever comes next.
"RESILIENCE ISN'T JUST ABOUT SURVIVING A CRISIS BUT PREPARING TO THRIVE THROUGH WHATEVER COMES NEXT."
