Resilience needs to be cultivated, deployed, and engaged with now more than ever. But above all, it needs to be embedded within oneself. Ozlem is one of the few people I know who can do this – she does it with people, with brands, with leadership teams, and she has done it with The Future Laboratory too – internally, and with our clients – and all to impressive and unrivalled effect.

MARTIN RAYMOND
HE FUTURE LABORATORY, CO-FOUNDER

Just like you, I too have had much adversity come my way, some self inflicted through change I sought in my life, dreams I wanted to pursue and some from no fault of my own, external conditions I couldn’t control. Each time I dug deep to discover mindsets, skills and tools to get me through. What I realised each time was I never went back, each time I was changed forever and for the better. Resilience was never for me about bouncing back, it was always about being back on my feet and taking a leap forward.

So here I hope to share my learning to help you get there quicker, easier and with more joy. I am here to support you to find increased success in your business, careers and find more fulfillment and harmon in your relationship with others, and most importantly, with your unique, authentic self.
