187: Ask Denis: Working Through Change and Resilience

Published: Aug. 20, 2021, 3 p.m.

Over my years in leadership I\u2019ve learned that things like change and resilience are easy to talk about but much, much harder to do. It can be quite daunting to see things go outside of our control, but those are the things we don\u2019t need to focus on. So in this episode, let\u2019s take a deeper look at the things we CAN control and how we can use them to navigate difficult or unexpected situations. Tune in and learn more about working through change and resilience.

On this episode:

  • Change is not easy no matter how much people talk about it. At the end of the day you can\u2019t control the things you can\u2019t control. But you CAN control your attitude, your mindset, and where you\u2019re going next.
  • What is resilience really? How do you do it well? I give the example of the journey I went through with my voice to draw a picture around how my attitude and mindset set the foundation for the resilience I would need to get through it. With that, I\u2019ll give you 3 things to do to build up resilience in difficult situations.

Key Takeaways:

  • Change and resilience is hard to do
  • Learn to control your attitude and where you\u2019re going next
  • The definition of resilience
  • Remember to breathe 
  • Thinking through things
  • Ask for help!
