Episode notes

You can't split your life up into eight hours sleeping, eight hours at work and eight hours for me. Life is not on a fulcrum. Work takes up a major part of it. There are times when you actually have to work weekends late into the evening because that's what the work demands. So there is where the balance lies. Ebbing flow. You'll have to make the most appropriate decisions for yourself at that particular moment in time. And we're seeing more of this as we record this right now, this idea of the quiet quitting movement. It's not a new phenomenon. People have been, it's an all honesty. It's, I've written about it

This week I had Robin Hills on the show to talk about resilience.

He's the author of the Authority Guide to Emotional Resilience in Business Strategies to Manage Stress and Weather Storms in the Workplace. He's the director of EI4Change, a company specializing in training, coaching, and personal development focused on emotional intelligence, positive psychology, and neuroscience. He has over 35 years of business and commercial experience, as well as spoken keynotes.

We dive deep into what it really means to be resilient, what it isn't, where the confusion may lie and how confusion can rear its ugly head. Robin busts some old myths and how emotions are an important factor.
