Being Resilient
It’s easier than you may think
/
I am a leadership and strategy professor at INSEAD. I help leaders become more resilient, improving the impact they have on their teams and organizations.
Being resilient – using our mental and physical capacities to effectively navigate adverse circumstances – is critical for our health, and that of our organizations and communities. This website shares practical, evidence-based ways to being resilient with broader audiences than those who attend my classes.

My search for resilience began when I trained for a suicide hotline at age 18. Since then, through master’s and PhD programs, my own therapy and growth, and decades of working with practicing executives, I am convinced that resilience is a skill that all can learn.
I am not perfect and so, every so often, I am less resilient than I like. When that happens, I try not to beat myself up. Instead, I try and see such instances as opportunities to learn and share the lessons with others.
