Notes on Resilience 26: Resilience as a competency with Siddharth Ashvin Shah
Listen in on my conversation with Siddharth Ashvin Shah, a physician, public health scientist, and educator. We discuss the shadow side of resiliency, how resiliency is not a trait but rather a set of skills and competencies we are continuously working on, and resiliency as a bridge that can support us even when we aren't at 100%. We also discuss the concept of trauma as a lens by which we can notice suffering (and that we have the tools to do something about) and the importance of normalizing discussions of trauma.
Stay to the end as Siddharth leads us in meditation, starting at 36:54.
Siddharth is the CEO of Greenleaf Integrative, a consulting firm he founded to assist helpers, healers, and protectors. What inspires him? “When people achieve the sublime, a kind of magic, in their lives. I can see it in the way they hold themselves in the ordinary, how they lose themselves in play…and how they show up for adversity.”
