On this episode Brian Berneman talks with Russell Harvey, The Resilience Coach.
Russell's background and journey:
Russell shares his background and how he became interested in human behavior and resilience. He started in training and learning & development roles, and eventually became a resilience coach after helping clients at the Co-op organization navigate challenges during a difficult time.
Understanding resilience and adaptability:
Russell defines resilience as "springing forward with learning" - the ability to adapt and grow from adversity, rather than just bouncing back. He explains the importance of having a purpose, being open to change, and understanding that discomfort is a normal part of growth.
The VUCA framework for navigating change:
Russell introduces the VUCA framework (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) as a way to conceptualize the constant change and challenges organizations face. He explains how the counterpart VUCA Prime (Vision, Understanding, Clarity, Agility) can help leaders and teams develop the capabilities to thrive in a VUCA environment.
Strengths-based approach to resilience:
Russell emphasizes the value of a strengths-based approach to building resilience, both for individuals and teams. He discusses how understanding and leveraging one's natural strengths can help expand comfort zones and adapt more effectively to challenges.
Optimism as a key resilience trait:
Russell highlights optimism as a critical component of resilience, distinct from toxic positivity. He explains how grounding in reality, while maintaining hope and focusing on strengths, can foster the kind of optimism that supports resilience and growth.
