Have you ever wondered if there is a resiliency quotient? Are resiliency and values directly correlated and do they impact each other? In the wake of challenge and adversity, does resiliency give us the strength to show up as our best self? How do we revisit our values and check-in with them? Join me as I meet with different friends, peers and leaders and we discuss their values, resiliency, and leadership. Over the course of many conversations, I hope to answer my burning question of whether there is a set of values that make one person more resilient than another and can they be taught.

During episode 6, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing one of my very dear friends, Gilbert Archuleta. Gilbert is the Director of Customer Energy Management at Puget Sound Energy. His values are authenticity, financial security, and diversity. I so LOVED his thoughts on the importance of being authentic, and how critical it was for him to find his voice, lean into his voice, and then create pathways for others to use their voice. How does authenticity and using your voice help you build your resiliency muscle?Listen. Follow.

During episode 5, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing Rob McKenna. Rob is the Founder and CEO at WiLD Leaders and Founder of the WiLD Foundation. He defines his values are editability, humor and grace, walking in the tension (noted below). What a truly incredible conversation (back space key), and so fun, to have this conversation with Rob directly following my conversation Daniel Hallak, Chief Commercial Officer at WiLD Leaders. Rob is such an incredible thinker, he is thoughtful, and so vulnerable. Love, LOVED his definition of resiliency: "Fundamental tension of staying true to ourselves, and staying connected with the people around you, in a meaningful way." How do you continue to stay true to yourself while building your resiliency muscle?Listen. Follow.

During episode 4, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing Daniel Hallak, PHD. Daniel is the Chief Commercial Officer at WiLD Leaders. I just LOVED our conversation - Daniel is just as passionate about people, development of leaders, and development of the people we support as I am. He defines his values, those that he is inspiring towards, as influence or impact, congruence, and people or relationships. However, he also believes that values can change depending on the situation or circumstance. How does our resiliency as leaders influence or impart resiliency onto those we support and lead.Listen.

During episode 3, season 2, I had the privilege of interviewing Karan Ferrell-Rhodes. Karan is the CEO & Lead Organizational Strategist at Shockingly Different Leadership. She defines her values as connectedness, security, and achievement. Karan introduced me to the idea of pivoting to where you need or want to go, versus letting go. Karan notes, "It's puts the power back in your hands. The power of moving forward and control and making decisions." How does pivoting help people be more resilient? Listen. Follow.

Welcome to season 2, episode 1 of the Resiliency Theory podcast. During episode 1, Rob Gregerson, editor extraordinaire, flipped the script and interviewed me. Yikes! Eeeek! I share my own personal story. My exploration of resiliency stems from trying to understand my successes despite of extreme challenges while growing up. My quote, "How the hell did I become so successful throughout all of the adversity I experienced year over year..." Rob helped uncovered what resiliency means to me and where it stems from. My story of resiliency is not a judgement of anyone elses' choices, but rather stops along the path to building my resiliency muscle and propelling me to whom I am today. Please note... this is my own personal journey and stories to share.
