RESILIENT LEADERS & ORGANIZATIONS  . LEARNING  .  COACHING  .  FACILITATION

our resilience model & research

For two years, we launched a rigorous Ph.D. research study inside two organizations to learn more about what it is that people who have strong resilience, work-life balance, and agility do. We also studied what they do under stress.

Simply put, they "live a good life/la buena vida" - filled with meaning, satisfaction, and abundant health. These resilient leaders also know how to transform stress into resilience without getting stuck.

The data revealed:
  • Where resilient people invest their daily time and energy. Or put another way, the muscle sets they work out over the long haul 
  • That they live their life aligned with their values
  • What coping strategies they lean into under stress
  • How to re-set themselves before burnout
  • They tended to be happier and healthier
  • If they had serious illness they knew how to manage stress to control their condition over time
  • How important work culture and leadership support is to them, and the related talent strategies

Resilient people thrive, live their lives with greater overall satisfaction, without giving up what matters most to them, and  no matter what life challenges come their way.
Research has shown that staff who practice resiliency provide 14% better customer service, demonstrated 79% lower burnout, and felt 61% lower likelihood of leaving the organization than staff in more high stress and toxic environments.

How our model is different

Our model is practical, enabling people to take immediate action to be more resilient, and it is a leading indicator of:
  • Workplace cultures that attract and retain talent in time to prevent "talent drain"
  • Workforce resilience, happiness and well being
  • Stress and burnout
  • Life satisfaction
  • Work force values and what makes a "great job" for your staff within your organization
  • Adaptability to change and stress for higher performance at work, home, and in the community
  • Sustainable business performance and productivity

Measures of organizational wellness, wellness program assessments, staff engagement surveys, etc, are lagging business indicators. Our quick assessments accomplish three critical success factors for agility in parallel:

1. Staff appreciate that leaders and businesses care about their well being, teams learn skills to strengthen their agility. you win their minds and hearts

2. Staff are more likely to have a genuine attitude of cooperation, reducing resistance to change, and

3. Organizations, teams, and leaders can measure stress and change readiness in real time, enabling more effective real-time decision making and adjustment strategies to boost successes
