Mentally strong leaders are needed now more than ever. And you can become one of them if you adopt habits that build grit and resilience. We asked two seasoned leaders to share their insights on the topic of mental strength: Olympic diver turned serial entrepreneur and Engel & Völkers broker Christopher Kalec, and Marc Angelo Coppola, founder of Superhero Academy, a mentorship platform, and Valhalla Farms, a sustainable community.
While Kalec and Coppola have very different backgrounds, they both share the opinion that mental strength is developed through experience. “I’ve learned many rough lessons, have faced huge walls both mentally and emotionally and have learned to persevere,” says Kalec. “My experiences have taught me to recognize that mental strength is a practice and a muscle like any other,” says Coppola.
Ready to buckle down and get intentional about building the inner strength that will help you face unexpected challenges and overcome obstacles? Here are six habits mentally strong leaders embrace.

Turrell’s showing of his Constellation series, which features new works, is currently on view at Pace Gallery. Exemplary of his work and methodology, Oliver Shultz, Curatorial Director of Pace Gallery, says, ‘These luminous portals are instruments for altering our perception; gazing into them results in the slow dissolution of the boundaries of the surrounding room, enveloping the viewer in the radiance of pure colour.’ This immersive quality has gotten Turrell into a bit of trouble in the past; when a woman viewing his 1980 show at the Whitney became disoriented in the light, she fell and broke her arm then sued both the artist and the museum. Other pieces, such as the infamous Perceptual Cells series wherein viewers slide into an MRI-like machine then are bombarded with ultra-bright, changing lights, have been met with controversy as well, serving to challenge the act of ‘seeing’ and the conscious reality of the viewer.
Constellation serves to isolate and distil colour in its purest form. ‘Each Constellation consists of a cut made directly into the gallery wall, producing an interior void that seems to contain a glowing atmosphere of chromatic brilliance… These mesmerizing mirages are created by hidden LED lights, which cycle through a spectrum of brilliant hues. The carefully turned chromatic relationships produced by the LEDs often result in an ambiguous sense of depth: the light emanating from the Constellation works seems to oscillate between being ‘on’ the wall and ‘inside’ it,’ Shultz says.

But now is not the time to fear monger or panic. It’s time to #FlattenTheCurve by putting into practice the new term du jour: Social Distancing. Social distancing isn’t quarantining yourself in your home for weeks on end — it’s simply applying best practices to mitigate the spread of a virus that is already running rampant, killing over 6,700 people worldwide at the time of this reporting.
We owe it to ourselves to be smart, listen to accurate information and be empathetic to those around us. Is your head spinning a bit from all this information? I feel you; mine is too. So that’s why I picked out my top picks for the best coronavirus podcasts to listen to right now. Some are all coronavirus, all the time, and some just have expert reporting on the pandemic just about every episode. Either way, listen to one or more of these, and you should know all you need to know about COVID-19.

While we’re all feeling a little uncertain right now as the world scrambles to contain the coronavirus (officially known as COVID-19), taking back control and shifting your narrative by way of boosting your own immunity and focusing on your personal wellness is not only empowering, it’s imperative.
According to Tsao-Lin Moy, Acupuncturist and Chinese medicine specialist in New York, the best way to boost immunity naturally is to take something that you already do (such as sleeping, eating habits and mindset) and make small shifts so that it becomes part of a routine.
With that in mind, we reached out to a handful of doctors and nutritionists to get their insights on exactly how we can boost our immunity and take better care of ourselves without doing a total lifestyle 180.
