3 Best Resiliency Practices When ‘Bad Stuff’ Happens Our team members have had many opportunities to put this approach to resiliency to the test. Back in 2006, one future CCL leader endured the unexpected loss of her father, declined an ideal promotion, left a wonderful organization, and moved across the country to help her mother. She found herself jobless while dealing with a crumbling marriage that eventually ended in divorce. Several years later, she became a CCL senior faculty member, a passionate speaker on the value of resilience. Like her, we advocate for these 3 best resiliency practices: 1. Personal energy management. Manage your own resist ance. “Show up,” give your best, and relinquish attachment to the outcome. Stay in the present. Exercise compassion for yourself and others. 2. Shifting your lenses. Take charge of how you think about adversity. Understand your beliefs about the situation and choose your response. 3. Sense of purpose. Develop a “personal why” that gives your life meaning. This helps you better face setbacks and challenges. Also, look for ways that crisis and adversity may connect to your larger life purpose.
