Ep 118 - Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk & Tim Curtis - The Resilience Shield

Life is hard for all of us. Rocketing rates of physical and mental health issues are a testimony to the immense pressures of our complex modern world - and then you throw in a global pandemic, economic uncertainty, and restrictions on movement. So how do we become strong and adaptable to face life’s challenges? 

Three Australian SAS veterans reveal their groundbreaking resilience techniques to master your mindset and overcome adversity. They’ve culminated their findings into a book ‘The Resilience Shield’.

Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk DSC and Tim Curtis are Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) veterans with MBAs. They have over 60 years combined experience in leading high-performance teams.

We talk about what is resilience and unpack the six elements that help to strengthen your resilience shield. In particular we dive into Mind and the role of creativity and spirituality, and wrestle with the concept of Adaptability - which for me truthfully I like the idea of, but the reality of having to constantly adapt to environment can just down right suck at times - maybe you agree? 
 

Dan, Ben and Tim currently work to support clients in improving their capabilities at the intersection of leadership, teamwork, resilience and crisis management. 

Dr Dan Pronk is involved with the top-rating SAS AUSTRALIA on Channel 7 and will have an extensive on-camera role in the 2021 series.  

This was a great conversation with super practical tools on how to understand and strengthen your resilience in the face of whatever life brings you.

Enjoy this conversation with Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk and Tim Curtis.
