Resilience isn't just our capacity to stand there and take the slings and arrows of life, it's the power and agility in which we respond to those slings and arrows. We don't have a limited amount of resilience and that's good news. Because when bad things happen, over and over, layered on top of each other, and they just keep coming, our reslience doesn’t have to tap out. We can build unlimited strength and speed in our response by learning to effectively “bounce,” and we can do that even before an adverse event occurs. By learning how to get up off the mat long before we’re even hit, we develop a resilience muscle that can seemlessly respond with strength, speed, and agility. My framework or formula for expanding your resilience is like a revolving door of gratitude, growth mindset, locus of control, explanatory style, compartmentalization, and reframing.

Counselors use a powerful skill in getting their clients to talk about issues that are painful, scary, or deeply personal. It is called a "reflection of feeling." When you reflect back to someone what they are feeling, you meet them right where they are emotionally. You've connected with them, they don't feel quite so alone with this feeling, and they know you have an understanding of what is going on with them. Using this technique with success is what this episode is all about! Episode info at http://AnnVertel.com/042. All episodes are at http://AnnVertel.com/podcastpage.

If you’ve ever tried to have a conversation with a teenager, you’ve experienced maximum frustration. Not being prone to volunteer information, they usually wait for adults to initiate discussions. Unfortunately, most adults just keep asking a series of questions. The more cryptic the answers, the more questions get asked. Frustrated, the adult begins to “quiz” the teenager using closed-ended questions (those that can be answered with “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.”) This often ends by spiraling downward until they both give up. Questions, particularly the wrong questions, can put people on the defensive. We ask questions because we want to know information, which means the other person is in a vulnerable spot. A more effective and “psychologically safe” way to have and hold a discussion with someone we truly want to engage is to make statements instead of asking questions. This gives the other person the option of responding or not without feeling interrogated. If you make a habit of using this skill, they will learn you respect them, their ideas, and their feelings. They will begin to trust you with sensitive information. They may even tell you more than you ever thought possible! In a conversation where you want to ensure the other person feels “psychologically safe,” use statements instead of questions. This allows the other person to state opinions and thoughts without feeling quizzed or interrogated. One of the best types of statements to make is called “descriptive feedback.” This is simply stating what you see, what you notice, without any value judgment (opinion, judgment, evaluation, criticism) attached. Using this technique with success is what this episode is all about! Episode info at http://AnnVertel.com/041/ All episodes at http://AnnVertel.com/podcastpage/

What if I told you that true fulfillment isn't about the journey OR the destination? How often have you been told to "enjoy the journey?" That happiness and fulfillment are not about the destination? This episode opens a third possibility, one that will change the way you see all your goals, processes, accomplishments, and achievements.

This one is for women in leadership (and men who work with women leaders!) No one really taught us how to lead like a woman, right? We learned lots of general skills about team building and managing change. But the skills necessary to walk that fine line between acting like a man or playing girlish games? Not so much. Sometimes we learn the greatest leadership lessons from people who aren’t very good leaders at all. I learned three important distinctions about how to lead like a woman while working for a woman who was exactly that.
