The Resilience Factor: Thriving Through Challenges

n this episode of Impactful Teamwork, host Julia Felton is joined by resilience coach Russell Harvey. Russell shares his definition of resilience as 'springing forward with learning,' differentiating it from the traditional idea of 'bouncing back.' They discuss the importance of pausing, re-energizing, and reflecting to build resilience, introducing the concept of a 'resilience wheel' that focuses on seven key aspects: attitude, purpose, confidence, adaptability, support network, meaning, and energy. The conversation also explores practical strategies to balance team welfare, prevent burnout, and enhance productivity through strengths-based delegation and fostering a trustful work environment. The episode ends with insights on creating optimism and avoiding toxic positivity, along with tips for leaders to maintain resilience in challenging times.
