#1 international resilience expert Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal provides
practical tools to effectively address challenges, complexity, and
change.
Resilience is categorically misunderstood. It's not merely about
bouncing back, and it's so much more than returning to where you began.
True resilient "doing" allows us to capitalize on the inescapable
challenges of life and become better than we were before.
Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal began working with brain injury patients and
found that most popular beliefs about human resilience are incorrect.
Since then, for the last 20 years, she has conducted qualitative
research on the power of resilience, studying the science behind why
some people succeed while others fail. Here, Dr. Taryn Marie outlines
the five critical behaviors that define successful resilience:
Vulnerability, Productive Perseverance, Connection, Gratiosity
(Gratitude and Generosity), and Possibility. Resilient People bounce
forward, take an active approach to facing challenges, and most
importantly, they are made, not born.
Dr. Taryn Marie's empirically proven framework shows us how to develop
resilience practices in our own lives--as adults, as parents, and across
organizations--in a manner that allows us to be enhanced by our
experiences, not diminished.
