192: How The Resilience Plan Supports Innovation Leaders & Change Makers

How do you keep pushing forward when faced with constant setbacks, resistance, or uncertainty? For innovators and leaders, resilience isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential. But resilience isn't simply enduring; it's about having a plan to navigate challenges and become stronger.

In this episode of Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Dr. Marie-Hélène Pelletier, an expert in leadership psychology and the author of The Resilience Plan, to break down what it takes to build resilience in today's fast-changing world. MH has spent decades working with executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing professionals, helping them cultivate the mental agility to thrive amid shifting business landscapes.

We explore why resilience isn't a personality trait—it's a skill that fluctuates over time and can be strengthened with the right strategies. MH shares the foundational elements of resilience, from the science-backed habits that sustain it to the business-inspired frameworks that help leaders apply it effectively. We also dive into why burnout is so prevalent among innovators and why simply pushing through challenges isn't a sustainable solution.

Throughout our conversation, MH introduces actionable ways to create a personal Resilience Plan tailored to your unique pressures and priorities. Whether you're leading high-stakes projects, navigating corporate resistance to change, or simply trying to maintain momentum in the face of uncertainty, this episode will give you the tools to build resilience to support your success.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressures of leading change, this conversation is for you. MH's insights will help you survive and thrive, even in challenging environments.
