Reframing Resilience: Ingredients to Develop Your Capacity to Adapt
Episode Details:
We often think about resilience as being strong or having the ability to overcome obstacles easily and quickly. But is this really resilience? I sit down with Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, chief resilience officer for Resilience Leadership and former head of executive development and talent strategy and planning at Nike, to discuss this question. Together we reframe the definition of resilience and discuss some of the myths of what it means to be resilient. Dr. Taryn also walks us through the five practices of particularly resilient people.
