A Crash Course on Resilience

We live in extraordinary times. The world is changing around us, and, as leaders, we are called to use everything that we have learned in often radically different circumstances. Resilience is the capacity to be flexible and responsive in engaging with changing circumstances; it leverages all the other competencies and skills you've acquired along the way.

This page is the entry into a brief, practical video course on developing personal resilience. It includes practices and exercises based on the Presence-Based Resilience Model. If you work with this material, with some diligence, over several months, you will notice a significant difference in your ability to stay resourceful, creative, and able to choose effective actions in any circumstances in your life.
