Show Notes:
[01:11] What Is Resilience, Really?
Resilience isn't just about pushing through hard times. Mike introduces it as the key to overcoming obstacles and driving professional success. What if resilience was more than just "bouncing back"—how could that change the way you lead?
[01:32] Meet Russell Harvey

[04:11] Redefining Resilience: "Springing Forward with Learning"
Russell shares his fresh perspective on resilience. Rather than simply returning to a previous state, true resilience means learning from challenges and growing stronger. How can you adopt this mindset in your personal and professional life?
[06:09] Surviving vs. Thriving in Unpredictable Times
What's the difference between just surviving and truly thriving? Russell explains how resilience enables leaders to not just cope with change but excel in a fast-moving world. Are you thriving in today's unpredictability?
[11:31] The Power of Reflection
Reflection isn't just about looking back—it's about learning and growing. Mike and Russell discuss how stepping outside your comfort zone and making time for reflection can accelerate your leadership growth.
[16:40] Introducing The Resilience Wheel
Russell walks us through his Resilience Wheel, which includes seven essential components like adaptability, confidence, and purpose. How strong are these elements in your own leadership? Learn how to assess and develop them.
[18:06] Building Resilience Through Adaptability and Learning
How can leaders build resilience? Russell shares tips on cultivating curiosity and staying adaptable to make learning a lifelong habit. How open are you to change, and what can you do to embrace it more fully?
[20:50] Purpose vs. Meaning: Key to Resilience
Russell distinguishes between purpose (your reason for being) and meaning (the story you tell yourself). Both are crucial for resilience, but how do they shape your ability to grow from adversity?
[24:15] Final Takeaway: Spring Forward with Learning
Resilience isn't about going back to who you were before. Russell leaves us with a powerful message: use challenges as a springboard to become even stronger. What will you take forward from your challenges?
Actionable Insights:
Reflect on Your Challenges: How often do you make time to reflect? Take a moment to think about your key learnings from recent adversity. Assess Your Adaptability: Are you resistant to change, or do you embrace it? Evaluate your openness to new experiences and ideas. Reframe Setbacks: Next time you face a challenge, ask yourself, "How can I grow from this?" Turn obstacles into opportunities for growth. Connect with Russell Harvey:
