The Resilience Caveat

Short Description

Resilience has always been that go-to quality that everyone admires and wants.

“I help people and organisations develop a positive, powerful mindset to unlock their potential and deliver their goals.” Ross McWilliam is a freelance speaker and author on mindsets. He has been involved with formal education for over 30 years and has probably changed the lives of over one million children, young adults and professionals within the field of mindsets. Ross is an established keynote speaker having spoken at over 50 events including National Association of Headteachers, Institute of School Business Leadership 2018, Havering Education National Conference 2020, Lancashire Business View Health and Wellbeing Conference, Brussels International Conference – Norway institution, Airbus BAE Senior Leaders Conference and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). He is a firm believer that everyone can reach their potential in life by finding their talents.. ”It’s not who gets there first that wins, just as long as you get there then we are all winners!” The Resilience Caveat: Resilience has always been that go-to quality that everyone admires and wants. It has never been questioned as its essential to developing in life, in work, in sport. Yet, even before Covid struck, it was becoming apparent that resilience, and some of its unhelpful definitions, was actually ‘the elephant in the room’ that nobody talked about but were beginning to question. Now having experienced Covid, fractures in companies are developing as too much emphasis has been put on being resilient at the expense of individual and collective well-being. For far too long resilience as been seen as the keep pushing, never give up quality. Often, this can lead to burnout and consequential short and long term health problems. Equally, a resilience based work culture can put pressure on others to conform to standards that are often unachievable and inappropriate, and ultimately can create long last divisions. There is a place for resilience, but it has to be defined both collectively and individually, and be implemented carefully.
