Resumen del Editor

I wrote Unlocked to help people acquire what we all need to build resilience and successfully deal with life’s unexpected discomforts. Especially now, with COVID19 spreading anxieties around the world, these resilience practices can enhance your ability to bounce back from unexpected adversities. These practices are more widely needed than ever before.

Long before the advent of this pandemic, I recognized that certain people had the ability to recover successfully when life tried to knock them down, and I found that the traits that enabled those people to comfortably deal with adversity were traits I could develop for myself, and you can, too. In this audiobook, I have defined five practices that build the traits common to those resilient people. I introduce you to the practices that matter, with clear explanation along with optional activities when you want a change.

Drawing on my experience as a business owner, executive, speaker, teacher, mother, and grandmother, and on the many interviews I have conducted with resilient people around the world, I have written Unlocked as a confirmation of those discoveries and included practices that will give you the building blocks of resilience and unlock your ability to choose how you respond to life’s unexpected discomforts.

Resilience and thinking to face unexpected events

I listened to this book while walking, working, and sometimes just to listen and relax. That will change. Madelyn uses this book as a story where you will soon realize you are one of the actors. Using her own experience and advice from her mom which she mentions in the foreword - You can decide to be happy no matter what happens - I found myself thinking about the current situation and how we are dealing with the unexpected.

This book was written before the unexpected happened to us through the Covid-19 crisis. Using what I already have - skills, qualities, and how to make an impact was a great takeaway from listening to this book. The power of silence, thoughtfulness, and vision. Your intent can come through even if you do not express it in words.

Madelyn gives you a foundation to prepare yourself for the unexpected. There are activities and tools in the book which will help you feel with your audience as you tell your story. I am definite every reader of this book, will know how to ask the right questions at the right time and increase positivity in your life and others.
