Resilience is a term we’ve heard a lot of lately.
But what does it have to do with our careers? Or being better leaders? Or feeling better about our organizations?
Resilience is not just about “bouncing back” from hardship. It’s an everyday stance, a mindset—about standing in uncertainty and bearing what’s not yet known. It’s about knowing that we can weather what’s not yet clear—and take next considered steps, and be willing to make discoveries.
Sometimes it means discoveries about where our limits are. But just as frequently, and often hiding in plain sight, the discovery that we’re far more skilled and capable than we thought. We just needed a new way to look at ourselves. And to leverage what we find to go even further than we imagined.
Our work lives can be much better: whether shaping our career, leading so others want to follow, or contributing to organizations that people want to be part of.

Burnt out from trying to locate the appropriate virtual link at the very last minute before the conference call begins.
