The three pillars of resilience


Liggy Webb on developing a toolkit of healthy coping mechanisms


greatest witticisms and to some extent it may well be true. It is important, however, to bear in mind that it isn’t just about getting through challenging times, it is also about the journey you choose to take through some of those experiences. Resilience is, after all, a great deal to do with your ability to recover well, not at any cost. Too often, especially in the work


“I


environment, I observe people “toughing it out”, sometimes to the detriment of their own physical and mental health. Reaching for unhealthy coping mechanisms may well provide a quick fi x in the short term. For long- term wellbeing, however, it is essential to establish a toolkit of healthy and sustainable coping mechanisms. When researching my fi rst book


on resilience I had the privilege of interviewing people from all over the world who were generous enough to share their personal stories with me. This taught me a great deal about resilience in addition to the wealth of scientifi c research around this fascinating subject. Over the past year, I have been


examining the relevance of human resilience and how it applies to us all in the 21st century, against the backdrop of the fourth industrial revolution. As a result I have developed a three-pillar model,


f you are going through hell, keep going…” This is one of Winston Churchill’s


which emphasises the importance of these three core behaviours:


1. Accountability When you take


responsibility for your own actions, you demonstrate accountability. By being accountable you will feel more empowered, confi dent and in control when dealing with


setbacks and adversity. It can be very liberating to


acknowledge and understand that you can ultimately


create options and choose your response to every situation.


2. Agility Agility is a key skill in the modern world where speed and responsiveness are fundamental to both personal and business survival. This is about your ability to adjust and fl ex your behaviour by employing different facets of emotional intelligence. It requires you to adopt a growth mindset and to be receptive to change and open to new learning and possibilities.


3. Attitude In the words of Shakespeare: “Nothing is good or bad, only thinking makes it so.” Facing adversity with a positive attitude is not about burying your head in the sand. You will still be able


to recognise the negative aspects of a situation; however, it then allows you to make a conscious decision to focus instead on the hope and opportunity that is also available.


Survive and thrive Building a resilience toolkit, especially in the fast-paced and often overwhelming world that you live in, will help you to safeguard your life. It will also help you to feel more empowered and cultivate self-effi cacy and inner strength so that you can survive and ultimately thrive! n


Liggy Webb will be presenting her three-pillar model on human resilience at the World of Learning on Tuesday 15 October at 13:30 in Theatre 1
