Roxanne Jones: Resiliency is often misunderstood. She says the word comes from material science and has become a metaphor for human behavior. It's not about bouncing back after an adverse event, she says; it's about learning to grow through hard times. But do you think the term gets overused? Does it lose its meaning because it's so corrupted or just overused? You can't do it unless you've actually been through hard trying times, writes Jones.
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.
