What does it really mean to be a resilient leader—and can resilience actually be developed? In Episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, Kristina speaks with Cynthia Conigliaro, founder of Work Well Webinars, about leadership resilience, workplace wellness, burnout, empathy, and the small habits that can help people move forward after difficult situations.
Cynthia has more than 25 years of experience in health and wellness, with graduate degrees in Social Work and Business focused on organizational and group psychology. Her work brings together emotional, physical, and organizational wellness to help individuals and organizations thrive.
In this conversation, Cynthia explains why resilience is more than simply “bouncing back.” She describes it as the ability to move forward and thrive after a difficult situation—and emphasizes that resilience can be developed.
You'll learn:
• What resilience really means
• Why resilience is especially important for leaders
• How leaders can recognize signs of burnout and disengagement
• Why employees pay attention to what leaders do, not just what they say
• How empathy can help leaders support struggling employees
• Why employee wellness is also a business issue
• How sleep, stress management, eating habits, and other lifestyle factors affect resilience
• Why small wins can create momentum
• How reflecting on difficult experiences can help us recognize our own inner strength
• The difference between optimism and resilience
One of Cynthia's most powerful messages is that we often have more resilience than we realize. Her resilience training includes asking people to identify a time when they demonstrated resilience—helping them recognize the inner strength they already possess.
If you're a business owner, leader, manager, or someone looking to build greater resilience in your own life, this conversation offers practical ideas you can begin applying today.
