The number one thing resilient people do differently when times get tough (and it's not what you think). We all face challenges in life, both personally and professionally. In her touching TEDx talk, Dr Lucy Hone shares her devastating yet resonating story of academic success, personal tragedy, and her journey to understand resilience. After experiencing immense grief, Lucy was driven to research what builds resilience in people. Her scientific findings revealed resilience isn't about possessing a rare trait, but involves ordinary strategies we can all practice. She identifies three key approaches: accepting circumstances that cannot be changed, focusing energy on factors we can influence, and maintaining gratitude for life's simpler gifts. Lucy's insights illustrate how leaning into daily strategies during hard times can guide healing alongside grieving. Her messages offer profound wisdom for navigating any setback, failure or disruption, large or small. Whether it's a project delay, difficult conversation or significant personal loss - Lucy reminds us we all have the power to influence our mindset and outcomes through deliberate everyday actions. Even in our darkest moments, small acts of positivity, control and thankfulness can make a difference. I invite you to my upcoming Strategic Agility Intensive on April 28th where we'll delve deeper into resilience-building strategies and cultivate this mindset skill through targeted exercises and community support.

🌟 "Jack of all trades, master of none," the saying goes—but did you know there's more to it? The full phrase is: "...but oftentimes better than master of one." And it flips the whole narrative. In a world that pushes us to specialize early, to pick a path and grind out our 10,000 hours, the value of being a generalist often gets overlooked.

Embracing Self-Discovery: Unlocking Your True Potential "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." - Bob Samples In a world that often prioritizes the rational over the intuitive, it is crucial to remember the profound value of self-discovery and personal growth. The words of Bob Samples echo the sentiment that our intuitive mind is a sacred gift, often overshadowed by the rational mind that serves us faithfully. By embarking on a journey of self-awareness and embracing our authentic selves, we open doors to limitless possibilities and inner power. Each individual possesses a unique light that, when allowed to shine brightly, illuminates a path towards self-realization and fulfillment. Choosing to explore this path of self-discovery not only enriches our lives but also contributes to creating a more harmonious and inclusive society. By advocating for the significance of this journey, we pave the way for a world governed by fairness and compassion. I invite you to take on the challenge of self-discovery and to champion its importance in shaping a better world for all. To further inspire your exploration, I recommend watching Jill Bolte Taylor's enlightening presentation on the human brain, based on her transformative experience as a stroke survivor. Her insights offer a unique perspective on appreciating the divine gift of our minds and encourage us to embrace it fully. Let us embrace the journey of self-discovery, for in doing so, we unlock the potential to become the best versions of ourselves and contribute positively to the world around us.
