012 - Stacey Copas - Leadership Resilience

Resilience in leadership is the hot topic and in this episode of the Team Guru Podcast I ask why. Why is resilience more relevant now than ever before? What is it? Can it be learned? How? And what can it mean for our lives? Today’s guest answers all of those questions and more. Stacey Copas is a key-note speaker, coach, author, and resilience consultant. And through her business, Resiliency for Results, she is in seriously high demand. She is known for her direct and practical approach, and in this episode Stacey gives us a step-by-step guide for how to build resilience into our lives. And if you think it sounds like a fairy tale –seeing negative events as an opportunity - you probably should know that Stacey is a quadriplegic. And while she’s been through tough times, she now says that the accident she had as a 12 year old is the best thing that could have happened in her life. Among many other things, it has given her clarity of purpose. Stacey’s mission is to bring awareness of reliance to the world. She wants people to know that like any skill, resilience can be developed and she wants to teach us how to do it.
