What if resilience isn’t about bouncing back, but about learning forward? We sit down with Russell Harvey, The Resilience Coach, to unpack a practical, human approach to leading in a full-on, always-changing world. Russell shares how his sixth redundancy became the catalyst to claim a clear identity and purpose, and why that moment of alignment shifted fear into energy.
We explore the Resilience Wheel—a seven-part framework built on research and field-tested across industries. Russell walks through attitude, purpose, confidence, adaptability versus agility, support networks, meaning, and energy, explaining how each element strengthens a leader’s ability to make good choices under pressure. You’ll hear how to use strengths daily to boost natural energy, why curiosity should come before action, and how to turn success into something you can sustain. Expect tangible steps, not theory: a three-question reflection ritual, self-assessments that reveal blind spots, and strategies to prepare for turbulence before it hits.
We also dig into optimism without the fluff. This is optimism grounded in reality—naming the size and shape of the challenge while elevating what’s good and workable about your people and your capabilities. Leaders who hold these conversations well see teams become more open, adaptable, and creative. Whether you’re navigating change, rebuilding confidence after tough feedback, or protecting momentum when things are going well, this conversation offers a map you can use right away.
