Resiliency Theory

During episode 6, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing one of my very dear friends, Gilbert Archuleta. Gilbert is the Director of Customer Energy Management at Puget Sound Energy. His values are authenticity, financial security, and diversity. I so LOVED his thoughts on the importance of being authentic, and how critical it was for him to find his voice, lean into his voice, and then create pathways for others to use their voice.

How does authenticity and using your voice help you build your resiliency muscle?

During episode 5, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing Rob McKenna. Rob is the Founder and CEO at WiLD Leaders and Founder of the WiLD Foundation. He defines his values are editability, humor and grace, walking in the tension (noted below). What a truly incredible conversation (back space key), and so fun, to have this conversation with Rob directly following my conversation Daniel Hallak, Chief Commercial Officer at WiLD Leaders.  Rob is such an incredible thinker, he is thoughtful, and so vulnerable.  Love, LOVED his definition of resiliency: "Fundamental tension of staying true to ourselves, and staying connected with the people around you, in a meaningful way."

How do you continue to stay true to yourself while building your resiliency muscle?

During episode 4, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing Daniel Hallak, PHD. Daniel is the Chief Commercial Officer at WiLD Leaders.  I just LOVED our conversation - Daniel is just as passionate about people, development of leaders, and development of the people we support as I am. He defines his values, those that he is inspiring towards, as influence or impact, congruence, and people or relationships. However, he also believes that values can change depending on the situation or circumstance. 

How does our resiliency as leaders influence or impart resiliency onto those  we support and lead.

During episode 3, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing Karan Ferrell-Rhodes. Karan is the CEO & Lead Organizational Strategist at Shockingly Different Leadership. She defines her values as connectedness, security, and achievement. Karan introduced me to the idea of pivoting to where you need or want to go, versus letting go. Karan notes, "It's puts the power back in your hands. The power of moving forward and control and making decisions."

How does pivoting help people be more resilient?

Welcome to season 2, episode 1 of the Resiliency Theory podcast. During episode 1, Rob Gregerson, editor extraordinaire, flipped the script and interviewed me. Yikes! Eeeek! I share my own personal story. My exploration of resiliency stems from trying to understand my successes despite of extreme challenges while growing up. My quote, "How the hell did I become so successful throughout all of the adversity I experienced year over year..." 

Rob helped uncovered what resiliency means to me and where it stems from. My story of resiliency is not a judgement of anyone elses' choices, but rather stops along the path to building my resiliency muscle and propelling me to whom I am today. 

Please note... this is my own personal journey and stories to share. 

During episode twenty-six, I had the privilege of interviewing Rob Gregerson. Rob is the editor of this podcast, and through this journey of editing and talking and adapting to feedback has become an incredible friend who is insightful, caring, and one of the most authentic humans I know. He defines his values as humor, honesty, curiosity,  transparency and vulnerability, creativity, and empathy. Listen to two friends talk about resiliency, values, and how important transparency and vulnerability are to helping people be resilient.

Join in on the conversation: Do you think sharing your story and being authentic, helps teach others how to be resilient?
