Boosting Resilience

at Work By Nyree Johnson

RESILIENCE MAY BE THE CURRENT BUZZ WORD, BUT IT JUST MEANS THAT IT’S GETTING ITS 15 MINUTES OF FAME. RESILIENCE AT WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NECESSITY.

ork can be challenging, it can be tedious, and it can be downright depressing at times. But your ability to bounce back when these moments come along is critical to your career success and fulfilment. At the end of the day, if you’re dreadfully unhappy in a workplace, leave and find something else. Don’t be defined by your job or be afraid to try something new. You’re not a slave to your income. JOB = Just Over Broke. To ensure you’re always rearing to go and ready to do your best work, having a toolkit of resilience and strategies up your sleeve will ensure you handle yourself with confidence and ease. After all, you may not be able to control what is happening around you, but you can certainly control your reaction to it.

Don’t be defined by your job or be afraid to try something new.

Resilience is not something you can develop overnight. It takes consistent effort and awareness to build your resilience so that when you take a ‘hit’, you can work through the impact and bounce back quicker and stronger than before. MUMPRENEUR MOVEMENT |
