Book Cover & Preview Text
Why does resilience matter? Being resilient matters to our own personal wellbeing, growth and success, it is the ability to keep going. You may have heard the 1985 Billy Ocean song “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”- this is resilience. While tenacity and not giving up are the behaviours you use, resilience is what keeps you going. The ability to keep going in challenging situations, both personal and professional, is a treasured ability. Kate calls it her “super power.” Who doesn’t want to manage the demands and challenges of daily life better! Every aspect of our life is impacted by change. This change is not going to stop, in fact, it will only increase. All around us in our daily lives, our employers, our governments, social institutions and organisations of all sizes, are talking about needing more agile, adaptable and resilient people who cope better with change. We can’t stop or slow down change, in fact like a strong wind or storm, change is going to continue to accelerate. But you don’t have to be caught up in it and be tossed around at will. Increasing your resilience helps to ground you. It acts like an anchor during a storm so that you are still there when the storm passes over. It doesn’t mean you won’t be impacted, what it means is that you will be able to survive the storm and use the experience to move forward and thrive. The more resilient you are the more persistent and more productive you can become. You will face challenges and grow from them. You will focus on the positives and the learnings from the situations. You will be able to manage stress better, be more balanced, grounded and you will be more self-aware and self-confident. You will become the hero of your life, not the victim of your circumstance. Life is about change, and it can get challenging and stressful at times. Being more resilient means that you can flow through life’s challenges and stresses with greater ease. As we mentioned, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be faced with challenges, it just means that you will be better equipped to manage and take action to get through them. The tools and techniques outlined in this book can help you manage the various circumstances that life throws at you. Being grounded, centred and authentic helps you to be the best version of yourself in all situations. Why wouldn’t you want to be the best version of yourself?
