Building Resilience in Times of Crisis, adapted from Melaina Spitzer
What is that word we hear so often in this period?
Fred Luthans, an expert in organizational behavior, describes it as “the developable capacity to rebound or bounce back from adversity, conflict, and failure or even positive events, progress, and increased responsibility.”
It can and must be built on an organizational level , but the best place to start building resilience—no matter your job, industry, or location—is at the individual level
Developing a resilience mindset will help you keep calm, focus on what you need to do, keep perspective on which way is up if you’re tumbling under the wave, and be creative about how to get back to shore.
If, as a leader, a parent, or caregiver, people depend on you to keep them afloat, you will need to make sure your vest is inflated first, then teach them the mindset and practices necessary so they can inflate their own life vests. The more responsibility we have, the more skilled we must become at resilience
Resilience necessitates mastery of our bodies, our thoughts, and our behaviors. The good news is that it can be developed! Coaching and stress management trainings help you develop your capability to reboot your brain, cultivating the mindset and practices to move you forward in these through times of change and challenges.
