Resilience is essential for people who want to create change. Research conducted a few years ago by Relume, the consultancy which Rowan works helps to run, involved interviewing business leaders, but specifically those who challenge the status quo. Through these conversations, and their own experience of working within high-profile organisations, they noticed a number of common behaviours in terms of what it takes to create a positive disturbance in a department, organisation or market sector.
One of the stand-out findings was that the ability to bounce back quickly from challenging situations was one of these behaviours. Some people even thrived in these testing circumstances.
What was also interesting is that people commonly mistake resilience for endurance. To endure is to continuously push the body and mind to the limit for prolonged periods of time without giving up. It’s the same with companies. Many wellbeing programs ask employees to be well enough to cope in organisations that are increasingly complex, uncertain and fast-paced.
But to be resilient is different. A degree of endurance is still required but it also means recovering quickly and using the experience to learn, adapt and do something different. It doesn’t mean putting up with more of the same.
Using a mixture of insight, real stories and practices, this workshop will help shift you from an endurance mindset to a resilience mindset. To read more on resilience here.
