Powerdyme™
was founded in 2007 by Dr. Dan Diamond after his return from
the hurricane Katrina relief effort because he was compelled to tell
the story of resilience in the midst of the storm. Despite years of
international
disaster relief work, He was inspired by some of the folks that he met
while serving as the Director of the Medical Triage Unit at the New
Orleans Convention Center. Some of the people that he encountered
refused,
despite a complete lack of resources, to become victims. In such a raw
environment, with possessions stripped away, it became clear that those
individuals had some common characteristics. Learning
these empowering skills would clearly give employees a significant
advantage in the everyday work place. Research has proven that
these resiliency and hardiness tools can be learned. The mission of
Powerdyme™ is to strengthen
and equip people with the skills to thrive when times are tough.
