“Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.”
~ James Cascio
“Resilience is the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens.”

“Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others.”
~ Sharon Salzberg
In recent times we have all been hit hard by change and a resilient leader will face the uncertainty and find a way to move forward. The abundance of change has left all leaders needing to take charge, define a new purpose and create a new balance. In the reality of a changing world, self-awareness will serve the future well. Pay attention to yourself and the world while sustaining a positive attitude that will welcome changes as opportunities for learning and growth.
A resilient leader makes themselves aware of the situations around them and their own reactions. They are able to model optimism and hope. Resilience is within reach when we build trust in ourselves and the people around us! In no time at all a path to recovery will emerge and the world will rebuild and flourish.
“She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails.”
