Resilience at work isn’t only about how much each of us can handle. It’s also about how our systems anticipate challenges, respond to them, and make space to recover and learn. 

What changes when we start asking, “How resilient is our organization?” instead of only, “How resilient am I?”

Resilience is often framed as an individual trait, but it’s also a property of our organizations - how they anticipate disruption, respond to it, and support recovery. 

In this Practicing Connection practicast, Erin and Jessica unpack what organizational resilience is, where the idea comes from, and how it shows up in our everyday work lives. 

Drawing on Shanna B. Tiayon’s four-phase framework: anticipatory, preparatory, responsive, and recovery, they share a simple set of reflection questions you can use after a hectic week, a tricky meeting, or a small crisis. 

You don’t need a formal role or a big debrief to try it; just choose one phase, ask one question, and start noticing the change.
