About this episode

It sure feels like there are unprecedented levels of turmoil on the economic/social/political landscape, with potentially legitimate concerns of how AI will change our work. Resilience is your fast track ticket to facing adversity, working with annoying people, and pivoting with finesse in your career.

If you haven’t already, it’s so important for you to know what your strengths are so you can lean on them to work with more energy. You not only want to leverage your own strengths, but help those around you to know and use their strengths, to build the entire team’s engagement and performance. Russell goes through the Resilience Wheel to deconstruct this key concept into its component parts.

Of course your communication skill level mirrors your current level of resilience. If you look carefully into any conversation, you can pretty accurately assess their level of resilience and respond accordingly.

Fortify your leadership with resilience, using these life-altering insights:

🔥The reasons you need more resilience right now (i.e. what you’re up against!)

💎 The connection between your strengths and your level of resilience

✅ How to look at working with your strengths against banking the money you want

🔑 Your reality-based purpose goes beyond your goals and is another big source of resilience

🦏 Exorcize your Imposter Syndrome by leaning into your strengths

🎯 Realize that the way you get promoted affects your confidence in the role

📣 Identify the strengths of each team member without the use of psychometrics.

Professional Development & Coaching

With 10,000+ hours of experience, Russell champions coaching as a powerful tool for leadership growth. He demystifies the process, showing how coaching boosts confidence, clarity, and results, and how leaders can embed coaching into everyday team development.

Why Employers Can’t Be Your Career Strategy Anymore

Career ladders are gone, and AI and restructures are rewriting roles faster than HR can adapt. Russell Harvey, known as _The Resilience Coach_, argues that relying on employers for growth is a dead end. With two decades in leadership and coaching, he shows why modern professionals must treat their careers like living systems—constantly learning, experimenting, and adapting. His practical approach to resilience turns uncertainty into an advantage, helping people design careers built on curiosity, confidence, and personal ownership rather than corporate promises.

Why Leaders Misread VUCA as a Threat Instead of an Advantage

Most executives see volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity as forces to fear, when in reality they’re the conditions where resilient leaders can thrive. Russell shows how reframing VUCA as an opportunity sparks innovation, sharpens decision-making, and builds teams that adapt rather than fracture under pressure. With 18 years immersed in resilience and change leadership, and experience across organisations from the NHS to global corporates, Russell brings both practical tools and lived insight to help leaders turn turbulence into traction.
