From Crisis to Comeback: The Fixer Who Became the Patient | Trè Anne Bartlett

About this episode

Trè Anne Bartlett shares her journey from being a crisis expert to becoming a patient, discussing resilience and leadership in the face of adversity.

Trè Anne Bartlett spent her career as the expert in other people's crises. Then a 10 pound mass in her colon, a permanent ileostomy, and a 5% survival prognosis collapsed everything she had built. The fixer became the patient. In this episode she walks Robin through the full systemic reconstruction that followed, defines what she means by psychological capital, and tells leaders what to protect first when life does not go according to plan.
