Resilience is vital to get ahead in life.
It's what pushes you successfully through the tough times, both in your personal and professional experiences.
I believe that most women need a special kind of resilience in the workplace. Why? Because we are regularly faced with challenging circumstances that test both our patience and ability to respond unemotionally.
I'm sure you'd agree that we all make better decisions, and are able to maintain focus, when we have control over our emotions.
A client I worked with recently was finding her boss to be particularly demanding and by the end of the week, my client was finding her own stress levels rocketing.
Resilience is essential here. It's about standing firm when things get tough, brushing yourself off when things get even harder and being determined to see through the situation towards a brighter future.
Resilience is all about bouncing back and doing it all with a smile on your face.
Easier said than done?
Here are some tips to help:
1. Identify the challenging relationships you have with the people you work with...
2. Where possible, speak to them if they are overstepping your boundaries and explain how you would prefer the situation to be.
3. Think quickly: what 3 things could you potentially do here to find a solution? Choose the best idea.
4. Remember to laugh; there's nothing like a drop of humour to lighten a situation.
