Stress Management – Images of Resilience

In times of continuous pressure and change, resilience is frequently referred to as being one of the key attributes of successful people. Resilience is expressed authoritatively as a positive ability to manage changing circumstances with confidence and certainty – an ability to weather storms and cope with stress effectively.

Resilience means different things to different people as it is influenced by the situation and life’s experiences.  What is a major challenge for one person may be a very straightforward issue for another.  Everyone approaches stressful situations in different ways.

A resilient person is not arrogant or overly confident; quite the opposite: they have a clear sense of their own potential, capability, and ability to cope and achieve.  Resilient people are aware of situations, their own emotional reactions, and the behaviour of those around them.  In order to manage feelings, it is essential to understand what is causing them and why.  By remaining aware, resilient people can maintain control of a situation and think of new ways to tackle problems.

Resilience is a word that has become increasingly popular in recent times, but what does it mean to you and what does resilience look like?

True resilience can be developed and grown through focused individual coaching by examining what resilience means for the person, what challenges they are facing that require resilience and what they need to do to manage themselves to take advantage of the opportunities available.
