Mastering Resilience: How Resilience Coaching Helps Navigate Complexity

If you’re here, it’s because complexity is at your doorstep

As a coach, do you experience any of the following in your clients? Or as a leader or internal coach/OD/HR, do you experience any of these inside your organisation? 

• Facing stark and unpalatable choices around career versus family, or work versus wellbeing
  
• Despite enabling lots of change, nothing changes
  
• Challenges are just too overwhelming so despite leaders talking about them, they remain unresolved 
  
• People are using stalling or displacement as tactics to shy away from tough conversations 
  
• Feeling low because of feeling stuck  

You might yourself, as a result, end up losing your own confidence because your support or leadership doesn’t seem to shift the dial. That despite knowing that you are a competent, experienced professional! 

The Resilience Dynamic community of practitioners experience these dilemmas in our clients and client systems because they are all resulting from an increasingly complex world. Our research has held a deep enquiry into how to enable positive and long-lasting shifts despite complex and difficult circumstances.

This has shown up many facets of the impact of complexity. Some of the consequences – like procrastination or avoiding the truth of a situation – come directly as a consequence of the stress reaction. Another set are less obvious, since they are a result of not accounting for people’s capacity and resilience when planning and executing change.  

This is where the savvy Resilience Dynamic practitioner can make a difference! 

The Resilience Dynamic Practitioner 

Here’s what you can count on as a Resilience Dynamic practitioner, either as a coach yourself, or if you are commissioning resilience-informed coaching. 

How do we know this?

Firstly, the materials in which any Resilience Dynamic Accredited Practitioner are able to use are based on our 17+ years of research. We have many proof points now of the approach and how it works to create the bedrock for Healthy, High Performance.

The second is how we run the Resilience Accreditation Programme. It’s a 6-8 month rigorous coach training programme for experienced practitioners that equips people theoretically and practically in the Resilience Dynamic framework. Practitioners not only have to do the work, but they also have to prove against nine rigorous criteria that they are a safe pair of hands.

Then for ongoing licensing, practitioners must re-accredit every three years, on the basis of continued resilience-related CPD, self-reflection and development. This is where our debates come from! Discover more about our Community of Practice here.
