There are many Role Models out there for us to be inspired and motivated by. Reflecting upon the life of Dame Deborah James, for me, she truly demonstrated Resilience. Thank you.

There is a difference between “keeping going regardless” and being Resilient.

true resilience requires people to take stock. pause, reflect and decide when they will change ad when they will maintain their behaviours.

I know The Apprentice is a TV Programme, however, I do worry that too many people are seeing their behaviours as a way to lead and “get ahead”.

After the 2008 financial Crash, a “New Leaders Paradigm” was highlighted that would be a different way forward - and it requires Resilience as well as a healthy approach to Ego.
