True resiliency can be defined by the power of recovery; resistance to adversity. Planning for resilience in our communities does not mean planning to withstand events that result from change. Planning for resilience means working to understand the potential shocks and stresses our communities will face as a result of change-related events and planning to ensure that our communities can continue to function, operate and thrive despite them.
We can build resilience over time by changing how we process negative events. True resilience can be strengthened by expressing gratitude for the good things in our lives. We can always strive to be self-reliant, and this is of value in our lives, however, without a doubt we need others. Let’s be both real and open to this. Let’s truly build real communities. Let’s build resilient ones, and let’s start with ourselves. We cannot build anything truly resilient without first building the healthiest and most resilient foundation for ourselves.
Through capacity awareness practices we can develop resilient capacity-building strategies together. With the development of courageous communication techniques we can approach building resilient relationships and communities sustainably. And through the application of all of this awareness, we can go out into our communities to consult and access the true stories that really matter to foster and achieve resilience for all.
To me context is key. Strategies help us break down big ideas or ideals into incremental steps to help us bring life to these dreams and desires. I deeply value possessing a belief in abundance, focus, discipline, accountability, community, truth, and integrity; this allows solutions and successes in my life and others to be reached. At the very core of my belief and knowing is the value in connection. I am committed to facilitating more authentic connections with yourself, your team, and your communities.
