In life, change is the only constant. Whether it's a life event, relationship breakdown, a career pivot, a lifestyle shift, or a personal transformation, navigating these require more than just adaptability – it demands resilience. Change is Inevitable, but Triumph is Optional! Imagine facing any hurdle with unwavering strength, turning setbacks into stepping stones, and emerging from challenges empowered with a new sense of self and what you are capable of. That's the essence of resilience, and it's the key to mastering personal change. Let go of fear and embrace the power of resilience. Resilience in motion is a transformative journey. I will guide you through the art of bouncing back, not just to where you were, but to a place of newfound strength and wisdom. What is resilience? There are many definitions of resilience out there, but my go to is ... "Resilience is the ability to thrive no matter what the elements throw at us and bounce back from those situations positively and stronger." ~ mindmatters. Myth: Resilience is something you either have or you don't. Firstly, resilience is not something we are born with, it’s something we learn to build through commitment, practice, insight and adaption. It doesn’t mean we are immune to stress or struggle, it means we have learned to ride the waves with strength and clarity. If we constantly navigate calm waters, we will never experience what is possible in life. However, if we ready ourselves to face the storms, we emerge stronger, braver, and wiser. What could resilience look like and feel like for you? When we feel resilient we wake up refreshed and ready for the day. We are powered by our commitment to a healthy lifestyle. In turn, this enables us to be in our optimal performance zone. We are clear about where we are going in life and when we encounter a problem, it doesn't faze us as we view it as an opportunity to grow. Our ability to persevere is fueled by our health. It enables us to push through set backs and view the situation with optimism and, with our emotions in check, we can determine the triggers, process the emotion and respond appropriately vs just react. Then there is the other myth that resilient people do not need others. Resilient people do need others. Overtime, resilient people will have developed a support network that encompasses trust, reciprocity and commitment. If this is getting you thinking or inspiring you to increase your Pesonal Resilience, then you might want to read on. What could be in it for you? Unlock Transformation: Get to the root of what is draining your engergy and getting in the way of you being resilient and discover one area to focus on that will have the biggest positive impact on your life. We call this "the first domino effect". Composure: Feel steadier in the whirl of emotions that accompanies change, challenge, setbacks and stress and learn how to respond with intent and strength vs reactionary and emotionally. Adaptability: Create a personalised resilience roadmap that turns the unknown into growth. It will support you with navigating uncertainty and remain grounded to keep moving forward. Confidence that Sticks: Watch your self-trust grow as you navigate uncertainty with clarity and strength. Confidence is the result of your commitment to practice, learning and growing through your experiences. Supportive Relationships: Resilience isn't a solo journey. Discover the power of building your support network that builds and maintaints reciprical relationships to bolster your resilience and fuel your commitment to practice, learning and growing. What does the Resilience in Motion Experience look like? Step 1: Understand your Current Levels of Resilience By completing the Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) Self-Assessment), you become aware of the different aspects that influence your personal resilience. This enables you to determine where you need to focus your attention and time in order to create change. This will form the foundation of your transormation journey. The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is the latest neuroscience research in a single assessment and is the most comprehensive, scientifically validated resilience psychometric available today. Learn more about the Personal Resilience Indicator. Step 2: Maximise your Potential for Growth Building resilience is a gradual process, and as your coach, I place high importance on ensuring your unique needs and circumstances are central to our work together. I will partner with you in a thought-provoking and creative way to maximize your potential for growing through what you go through. Over 5 Coaching Sessions, we will leverage your desired goals, based on the outcomes and focus areas you identified in your PRI Self Assessment, and together, we’ll explore what becomes possible when you stop pushing through and instead start building personal resilience that feels grounded, genuine, and sustainable. Throughout this journey, we’ll tune into your natural rhythm, not rushing the beat, but aligning with your tempo to support lasting change and true confidence. Step 3: Navigating the Emotion & Commotion of Change When change happens to us, it can sometimes feel like we have been dumped in the middle of nowhere without the right equipment and knowledge to keep us safe and warm. Our stress response is activated and we become ruled by Fear, doubt and confusion due to the uncertainty we face. What we need is a map that will show us where we are along our change journey so we can engage our executive brain and think logically to determine where we need to get to. It's how we respond in these situations that decides whether we spiral or remain calm, grounded and moving forward. Change has a rhythm and there are a set of six predictable and sequential stages of change we all go through when change happens. I will introduce you to a cyle that will provide you with clarity about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. You will begin to feel the beat behind your experience and form new insights that becomes a core part of your “resilience through change” survival kit, helping you recognise your place in the journey and respond with intention and purpose vs just instinct.
