Ben Pronk, a former SAS soldier and co-founder of The Resilience Shield. Ben explores the complex concept of resilience, which he defines as achieving unexpectedly positive outcomes in the face of adversity. He elaborates on the six layers of resilience, emphasising both innate and modifiable factors. These layers include nature and nurture, mental and physical health, social interactions, professional life, and the capacity for adaptation to unexpected challenges. Drawing from his extensive military experience and his work on resilience training, Ben offers profound insights into how individuals can strengthen their resilience through a comprehensive approach that incorporates physical fitness, mental fortitude, and community support.
