I sought the expertise of Dr Taryn Stejskal for her steps and advice.

Resilience Leadership in a World of Global Adversity

In order to be resilient during these turbulent and ambiguous times, The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People are more important now than ever before. Below is a subset of these practices, The New Rules for Resilience:

1. Vulnerability — embrace our humanity. Look internally, and take stock of how we are feeling internally, and allow our internal experience to match the self we show to the world on the outside. Being vulnerable doesn’t mean weakness, it means finding the strength within to share our authentic self with others to create connection and receive the resources we need to thrive.

2. Productive Perseverance — the art and science of when we maintain the mission, and then we choose to pivot our efforts in a new direction. In these turbulent times, we’re all going to need to think in a more agile and flexible way about our personal and professional pursuits in the months ahead.
