Resilience and Grit, A Physical Impossibility?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a funny comparison, resilience and grit, but as a resilience and grit keynote speaker<\/a>, I know that what seems opposite are connected.<\/p>\n

When we think of \u201cresilience,\u201d we think of a strand of cooked spaghetti, a rubber band, stretch-band or something that bends every which way in the wind but returns to normal. When most of us think of \u201cgrit,\u201d we think of holding-fast, grinding it out and never yielding.<\/p>\n

As a grit and resilience speaker<\/a> I know that we can\u2019t have one without the other and in fact, they need each other<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Taking it out of the \u201cphysical\u201d and into the organizational, I can almost always predict who in an organization will adjust to change and who will encounter problems.<\/p>\n

In November 2012, Laura Quast wrote an engaging article for Forbes<\/em> on why people resist change. She listed 5 reasons: \u00a0fear of the unknown, mistrust, loss of control, bad timing, and every person\u2019s tolerance for change.<\/p>\n

The Resilience and Grit Equation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking the five points above, I like to turn them around and look at them through the lens of my personal philosophy of Vision \u2013 Mindset \u2013 Grit. Why? Because I believe that no matter what change you are going through, with resilience and grit, you can accomplish far more than you ever thought possible.<\/p>\n
