Episode 31: Qualities of Resilient Leaders

Hey, Friend! For the past couple of weeks, I have been talking about resilience, an important life skill and an essential leadership skill. In today’s episode, I share some of the qualities of a resilient leader. As you listen, I want you to consider someone you know who you think of as resilient. What is it about them that seems resilient? Likely, you have witnessed them navigating a setback and you have wondered how they did it. What about you? How resilient are you? Reflect on times you have navigated setbacks. How did that setback affect you physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially? If you can identify areas in which you are resilient, celebrate that! And in the areas where you have identified you need more work, own that and decide the first step you are going to take to develop resilience in that area. And be patient with yourself. You don’t become resilient by deciding to. You become resilient by practicing. Practice mastering your mindset. Practice doing what resilient people do. Practice asking for feedback about your resilience. Practice adapting to small changes before you tackle the big ones. Most skills are developed by practice and resilience is a skill. It takes practice. I pray this blesses you! Becky
