What if you could not only “survive” change … but actually embraced it to find innovative and creative opportunities not merely to bounce back but to BOUNCE FORWARD? If you could build your resilience level so you could show up and perform at your best, no matter what challenge, complexity, or change came their way, think about how successful you would become.
Resilience has been described as the ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from difficult life events. Times are not easy now. How do we develop greater resilience to withstand the challenges that keep being thrown at us?
Researchers have identified 14 markers of resilient people
- Attention to health and good cardiovascular fitness
- Capacity to rapidly recover from stress
- A history of mastering challenges
- High coping self-efficacy—our belief in our own ability to succeed
- Disciplined focus on skill development
- Cognitive flexibility—the ability to reframe adversity in a positive light
- Positive emotion and optimism
- Loving caretakers and sturdy role models
- The ability to regulate emotions
- Strong social support
- Altruism—service
- Commitment to a valued cause or purpose
- Capacity to extract meaning from adverse situations
- Support from religion and spirituality
Characteristics of resilience. Resilient individuals:
- Routinely and ritually take time to recharge and recover.
- Are willing to learn from feedback. And they invite feedback. They know they can learn and grow from it because they get access to visibility on their blind spots. They learn what they can’t see and what they don’t know.
- Are more flexible and agile. Resilient people are improvisational. Their ability to know when and how to change direction makes them serial pivoters.
Summary
Resilient people are the ones who don’t just bounce back but are able to bounce forward. It’s not just about getting back to where you were, it’s about getting further than you were. It’s about letting change, change you.
