How To Practice Resilience With Dr. Taryn Marie, Former Head of Exec Leadership at Nike

We Will Get Through This

Lots of people have one piece of the resilience puzzle. Their experience and expertise has given them insight on, say, nutrition or money or self-care or community building. These people are awesome, and they’ll be coming on the show.

Few people have an established model about resilience, based on empirical evidence and tested in both the business and academic worlds. Dr Taryn Marie Stejskal is the unicorn. Her pre- and post-doctoral studies focused on the assessment and treatment of neurological injury, and she went on to be the Head of Executive Leadership Development at Nike, and of Global Leadership Development at Cigna. She then founded her own company, Resilience Leadership, where she serves as the Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), and champions the The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People.

In this episode we get into what’s wrong with bouncing back; those five practices of resilient people; the distinction between choice and control; how Kevin Bacon may have shot himself in the foot; why the mindset “everything happens for a reason” drives us both crazy … and just what it means to over-egg a pudding.
