What is Resilience?

6th May 2010

Emotional Intelligence is “outside:in” – it is active behaviour, that others observe, that makes us effective as leaders.

Resilience is “inside:out” - the inner strength to handle setbacks and cope with adversity. It is our own resources of grit, determination and confidence, that enable us to deal with difficult situations and “keep our shape” in the face of challenges.

People experiencing the same basic adversity…

• …attend to different information,
• …think different things about it,
• …and say different things to themselves and those around them.
• They generate different emotional reactions in themselves…
• …leading them to choose different actions…
• …and provoking different re-actions in those around them.
• At every stage of this process, you are making choices

Resilience at its simplest is about having more options and making better choices

This website contains a lot of information about us and what we do - but it's no substitute for a conversation.

To understand how we could help, and whether you could work with us, please call us on 01332 381888 - we'd love to hear from you.

The easiest way to understand how we can help, and whether you feel that you could work with us, is to begin with a conversation. You will not be subjected to a "hard sell" as we often find that people get value out of the exploratory discussion, whether or not we go on to work together.
