Title:
Resilience, Teamwork, and Confidence: Life Skills from a Navy SEAL and a Professional Golfer

Description:
What do Navy SEALs and professional golfers have in common? They perform at the highest levels under stress and uncertainty. Join us for an IOE Lunch and Learn discussion with Master Chief Terry Houin, a 26-year Navy SEAL veteran, and Paul Stankowski, a 24-year PGA Tour veteran, to hear about their approach to mental preparation and how to develop grit and focus that will help you succeed in school, relationships and your career. Mike O’Connell, IOE alum and Chair of the IOE Advisory Board Committee on Education and Professional Development, will moderate the discussion.
