  6. Key FindingsPaul Stoltz, www.peaklearning .com 1. We respond to events in hardwired patterns 2. These hardwired patterns have a radical affect on our chemistry (Peptides) 3. These patterns can be measured. (AQ) 4. These patterns can be rewired and permanently improved (Neuroplasticity) 5. People and organizations who respond effectively to adversity (change-driven or otherwise) find those challenges take less of a toll and are instrumental in opening up new opportunities
