What Leaders Need to Know about Resilience
C2S Digital delivered a virtual workshop on Resilience this week in collaborated with Zentano Group looking at Connected Leadership. We had a full house and explored the topic of the 4 signs of a resilient leader. Now more than ever we need to be resilient leaders and we cannot show our people how to be resilient unless we have mastered the skills ourselves.
We looked at 4 signs of resilient leaders:
- They See opportunities and not become victims, are Positive & proactive
- They are Committed to their purpose, there values and are goal focused
- They have a healthy connection to self and others
- They have an adaptive mindset, a healthy body, mind and heart
Resilient leaders are not scared to face their fears, to be open and honest, are accepting and understanding of self and then others and have the ability to move forward in a positive manor, showing up and not toughing it out! When we apply resilience to the current global crisis it’s ok to have fear and be uncertain of what the future holds but it is those leaders that are resilient that will be accepting of what has happened and have the courage to have an adaptive mindset and embrace change and what next looks like!
Resilience is not about toughing it out, it’s about learning, accepting and having an adaptable mindset. Remind yourself of what get’s you out of bed every day, what 3 things you want to achieve in the next 3 months and look forward not back.
A valuable tool used by many leaders is journaling, it’s a way to record your thoughts and actions, be reflective, have clarity and recharge. Statistics show those leaders that journal and those that adopt a reflective style are more successful than those that don’t.

About the Event
It was Rudyard Kipling who famously wrote “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”. Change, especially when forced upon us, can be a challenge to manage. Leaders who can keep their head, be flexible and adaptable, and who communicate well are worth their weight in gold!
The key to navigating through the ambiguity and uncertainty that change brings is mindset – yours and your teams. If approached in the right way, change can be an exciting opportunity for creative, solutions focused thinking and behaviour. C2S have partnered with leadership experts Zentano to produce a workshop that will help you understand the following;
- Why is change so hard for people and how can I help them through it?
- How can I help people past their fears into a positive, proactive mindset?
- What is the best way to help my team stay motivated?
