Today’s episode marks the fourth installment in the ‘HR Best Practices’ series, and, fittingly for the second to last episode of 2020, it is all about resilience. In this year that has so often been described as unprecedented, it’s no wonder that the notion of resilience has been discussed so very much as it has been tested in each and every one of us repeatedly. Maria and Michelle, naturally, have a number of thoughts and suggestions regarding this trending topic of the year, and they share many of them with listeners here today.
They begin by looking at a textbook definition of resilience, and then explore Michelle’s move away from corporate America and how it demonstrates many of the challenges of bouncing back. They also examine the importance of offering the appropriate type of support at the appropriate time, finding your village, practicing gratitude, and dealing with negativity and failure. Our hosts conclude by sharing a useful resource and emphasizing the need to find what specifically works for you in situations involving resilience. With all that this past year has thrown at everyone, the need for resilience, as well as the habits to help build it, has never been more important. Join Michelle and Maria today to learn these critical skills that will prove beneficial both now and well into the future.
