RESILIENCE
TAPPING INTO OUR RESILIENT SELVES
It is fair to say that over the last three years we individually and collectively have had to endure the upheaval and shock waves of a once in a generation global pandemic.
Over my twenty plus years of championing individuals, teams and entire corporate cultures, I have never experienced such radical destabilization amongst those I talk to. I posit that the world has gone through a global form of PTSD.
I good fifty percent of the population hate to feel destabilized and a further twenty five percent despise being slowed down or having the unbearable feeling of feeling ‘stuck’, lastly the other twenty five percent of the population hate to feel trapped, constrained or the experience the tight grip of government mandates.
NEW REALITY
Our natural abilities have been tried, tested and provoked. When I first interview people about the things they enjoy that refresh them from the pressure of their world, I now ask them “In the “before time”, (before Covid), what did you do outside of work that refreshed or reenergized you? The reason why I qualify that question is because people are not back to their authentic self, they are still ‘up in the air’. Basically they don’t have an answer for me, if I ask the same question about their the present day. That is extremely telling for me as a profiler.
CALIBRATION
We are not recalibrated we have leveraged all of our resilience to persevere during the most tumultuous three years know to modern man. My oldest brother who is the wisest of all my siblings said in March of 2020, he said ‘Americans are not used to doing without, in fact the last time they experienced deprivation this was over seventy years ago with WWII.
His prediction about our discomfort and the subsequent emergence of the male and female ‘Karen’s’ have proven to be true! Our fatigue, impatience and exasperation have marbleized into the general population and have to be addressed.
So the pressing question is, how to redirect our resilience to put us on a path of thriving?
MASTERY
Our individual abilities are as diverse as they are wondrous, however it is the intentionality of where we direct our abilities, to restore us to a vibrant and thriving state of being.
ACTIVE AWARENESS
Tapping into your own abilities and those around you can create an exponential factor to restore, grow and adapt to our new circumstances. No one is ‘back to normal’, a new normal is emerging and we have to adapt and approach it with strategy and a hard look at ourselves and our environment.
If you need help with recalibrating and strategically moving forward with your new environment, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
We have been in an elaborate ‘hall of mirrors’ for the last three years, the media, those selling to us, have aggressively pushed us to “we are back to normal, lets resume like nothing happened”. The markets are cheerleading the ignorance, that lack of empathy and refuting the context of our individual reality, it is toxic, draining and unproductive. What is the sound of your own voice? How are you tapping into that resilient nature to create plans to honor and realize the wants from the sound of your own voice, because at the end of the day, that is all that matters.
