Every day we encounter challenges when we are working that test our ability to be resilient, to be strong and overcome difficulties, to thrive not just survive. Some days the challenges are small, a computer problem or vendor issue. Other days the challenges are large, losing a job or a conflict with a colleague. To overcome these challenges, women need to build their ability to be resilient. What do women need to do to get that resiliency boost?

Women bring exceptional talents to the work they do, yet often face struggles to achieve fulfillment. Women need to anticipate, navigate, learn and grow from the challenges that they encounter for career success. The ability to maintain one’s resiliency and thrive in the midst of adversity is an intentional choice. When women consciously make that choice, they are better equipped to be transformed by work-related challenges.

My book, Shift Into Thrive: Six Strategies for Women to Unlock the Power of Resiliency, focuses on resiliency building strategies that have been proven to help women thrive. To determine the resiliency boost you need, answer these six, yes or no, questions:

  • Do I have the right network to get the support I need during challenging times at work?
  • Am I clear on my values, passions, and vision for my career?
  • Do I know what development I need to be successful at the work I do?
  • Am I able to focus on taking care of myself including my physical, emotional, and spiritual needs?
  • Do I fully use my strengths to get my job done?
  • Am I able to see the positive aspects of a challenge and not dwell on the negative?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, then that is the strategy you need to focus on building to get your resiliency boost. The purpose of Shift Into Thrive is for women to use the powerful strategies to become more resilient and avoid or overcome career challenges, resulting in an extraordinary career.
