Leading with Resiliency in a VUCA Environment Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity or VUCA, is our current state of the world. It demands that we tap into our “resiliency reserves” and growth mindset so that we are ready to bounce forward. Forget about bouncing back – that is never going to happen and it’s time to embrace this moment in time as an opportunity to expand how we think about our world, our work and what’ possible. This interactive session will talk about how to build up the “muscles” you need for resiliency and the 8 steps to get there: - Get connected -- Research shows that the people that have the most connections do better mentally and physically when faced with challenge - Focus on meaning -- Set small, achievable goals each day and share why they matter to you. - Practicing acceptance -- Discuss facts, accept what is, own your emotions, resist the urge to blame - Control and influence -- Control what you can control, and influence what you can influence - Be proactive -- Make a plan and then take action - Practice optimism -- Focus on what is possible, not probable - Pay attention to self-care -- Mental and physical health are essential - Have a sense of humor -- Laughter nourishes the soul and recharges our batteries
