I'm loving the starter packs! But didn't see one for all CNS injury researchers (stroke, TBI, SCI, etc). Can you help me build it?

That’s why we’re thinking of setting up a new Leadership Lab on risk management.

We want to show you how to prepare for the unknown and learn strategies to mitigate risks even before you have certainty.

If this sounds helpful, comment β€˜yes,’ repost, and we’ll set it up!

Completely normal. The key is to break it down into very very small chunks until you can build up some momentum and really attack it. Even just copying the critiques into a word file and making small notes about potential responses is a step forward.
