Break the Resolution. Keep the Comeback.

In our upcoming issue of The mUse, Angela Justice, PhD, flips the script on New Year resolutions by reminding leaders that success isn’t about never slipping, it’s about how quickly you reset when you do. She introduces the idea of your Bounce-Back Rate, the measure that actually builds resilience, momentum, and trust.

Instead of chasing perfection or beating yourself up when old habits resurface, she encourages leaders to plan their recovery ahead of time and normalize the reset. The message is clear: real change lasts not because you never miss… but because you never stay down for long.
