Episode notes

I think what we've got to do is to look at education in general and say that they're very good at following a curriculum. We are not taught this stuff at school because I think a lot of the people who are doing the teaching have just not got the capacity, the experience and the understanding of how the business world works. A lot of the teachers, very good teachers, learn their art by coming out of university, going on to teach a training college and then they're thrown in front of a class of school kids. So where have they got any resilience from? They learn it on the job. And another group of individuals which are very, very, very well at passing exams

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.
