How have life’s struggles shaped you?
We all go through hardships in our personal and professional lives that inform who we are. How we react to these big moments is often put down to our resilience.
But what if we looked at resilience differently?
In this episode I am joined by coach and author Luis Velasquez, who discusses how to reframe your perception of resilience. He suggests that rather than being a reaction to those shock moments, resilience is something we should nurture day in day out.
He talks about how we can make better choices when reacting to difficult situations. As well as how to reframe what is possible and step into the discomfort. He also shares how he has done this through real hardships and challenges in his own life.
There is huge potential for growth when we commit to better understanding ourselves and what resilience means to us.
“The minute you have options, you have the power of choice” – Luis Velasquez
