These days, resilience is something that\u2019s on all of our minds. We often hear it talked about in the context of how well we can \u201cbounce back\u201d from a setback or crisis. In some ways, though, bouncing back implies that we\u2019re at the mercy of everything that\u2019s going on around us. Or as Ann Herrmann-Nehdi put it in a recent LinkedIn post, \u201cIt feels like I am in a pinball machine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t there something more intentional we can do, especially with all the chaos we\u2019re going through in our work lives right now?<\/p>\n

We at Herrmann<\/a> wanted to find out, which is why we\u2019ve been doing some digging into the topic of resilience and how stress and mindset affect our ability to cope with adversity.<\/p>\n

As part of this effort, we recently conducted a survey that takes a look at the role resilience has played for people and organisations as they\u2019ve navigated through the pandemic and other uncertainties. We also called up a few colleagues who are doing great work in this area to tap into their perspectives and ideas.<\/p>\n

One thing our research has clearly confirmed: When it comes to resilience, it\u2019s not a case of either you\u2019ve got it or you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

You also don\u2019t have to feel helplessly knocked around by circumstance.<\/p>\n

You can build resilience. So can your team and your organisation.<\/p>\n

In our webinar on how to decode, build and sustain resilience for growth<\/a>, you\u2019ll hear about some of the key data points that came out of our survey \u2014 including a few findings that surprised us.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also get to hear from those experts we reached out to: Linda Hoopes, author<\/a> of Prosilience: Building Your Resilience for a Turbulent World; Chandra Alexandre, CEO<\/a> of Community Action Marin; and DeAnne Aussem, PwC\u2019s<\/a> Leadership Development and Well Being Leader. And because resilience starts with a mindset, we\u2019ll be taking a closer look at what the HBDI\u00ae<\/a> and Whole Brain\u00ae Thinking<\/a> tell us about resilience and how it can be developed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a preview of what the webinar covers.<\/p>\n

3 Areas of Resilience in the Workplace<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all gone through a lot of change over the past six months, and that\u2019s reflected in the results of our survey, where the majority of respondents told us they\u2019ve spent at least a quarter of their time since March acclimating to their organisation\u2019s \u201cnew normal.\u201d Almost 20% said dealing with these huge shifts has taken 75% or more of their time.<\/p>\n

Considering the magnitude of the disruption, this is a good opportunity to take a few moments out to stop and think about how well you\u2019re doing with resilience personally, as well as with your team or group, and how the organisation is faring overall.<\/p>\n

Panelists Linda, Chandre and DeAnne approach resilience from these three different vantage points to give you some ideas about what you can do to increase resilience in each of these areas.<\/p>\n

They also tackle some key questions that can have a big impact on the workplace and how we go about developing resilience for growth, including:<\/p>\n
