Cultivating Resilience: Adapting in the Face of Challenge and Change


It’s been an extended time of change, challenge and uncertainty. The rhythm of your life may have been altered, and you may be sorting that out. It’s more important than ever to cultivate resilience, the reserves needed to use disruption to shift your thinking and innovate. Do you need to level up your well-being and self-care, given the stress of your role and importance of your responsibilities? How do we recognize when resilience is an issue in ourselves or those we work with?

Self-awareness, self-management and empathy are critical leadership capabilities in a complex, ever-changing environment. These and clarity about purpose are fundamental to engaging others whose influence and committed action we seek. They’re also vital to individual and organizational resilience. People are often surprised at how a few small behavior changes and simple practices can have enormous impact.

We offer stand-alone training programs which can be offered as a learning and development event, part of your next leadership retreat, and a six-month series, fine-tuned to meet the needs of your group.

Resilience Master Mind

6-month program 

Resilience is something we learn and build over time. Our practices and the ability to shift our mindsets in the moment can have enormous impact. Many of us could benefit from ongoing learning and support to cultivate greater well-being as we go about our everyday challenges. In these highly interactive sessions, learn how you can build resilience as you go about your daily life. We’ll share useful information from research and leading thinkers, practices, exercises and tools, and learn from other participants. Each session, we’ll explore topics, like how mindful “savoring” of experiences, moments can have lasting impact on well-being; your “happiness set point;” and techniques to build new habits into a busy day.

 The series includes:

  • To support self-awareness, and clarify purpose, keys to resilience:

    • Intake reflection exercise for you to complete, to support you in identifying what you’d like to focus on going forward

  • 6 interactive webinars over 6 months. Topics include:

    • The power of purpose and how it impacts physical and mental health, according to studies

    • How thoughts impact mood, your brain and resilience

    • Outsmarting limiting beliefs 

    • Cultivating the behaviors that energize and support you

    • Making counter offers and requests

    • Identifying and breaking unproductive narratives

  • One 1:1 confidential coaching session to support you in clarifying outcomes at the outset, or, to be used at any time.

Recommended prework: To get the most out of your participation in the session, please reflect on:

  • What energizes you?

  • What depletes you?

  • What’s challenging you about resilience right now?

“Resilience Rodeo was immensely helpful with achieving both my personal and professional goals. The materials and practices covered in these sessions will stay with me for the rest of my life! My attitude and ability to deal with stress have improved, and the support provided by the group was incredibly invaluable.  Even my boss commented about how much my resilience improved.”

”The Resilience Rodeo gave me the jump start that I needed. From it, my new morning routine is to do yoga, meditate, and journal before checking the news or my email. I really want to check the news so that motivates me to get moving early! It makes all the difference. Committing to a regular yoga practice has eluded me for more than 30 years. I gratefully credit the Resilience Rodeo for this long awaited, positive breakthrough.”
