About this episode

n this episode of Impactful Teamwork, host Julia Felton is joined by resilience coach Russell Harvey. Russell shares his definition of resilience as 'springing forward with learning,' differentiating it from the traditional idea of 'bouncing back.' They discuss the importance of pausing, re-energizing, and reflecting to build resilience, introducing the concept of a 'resilience wheel' that focuses on seven key aspects: attitude, purpose, confidence, adaptability, support network, meaning, and energy. The conversation also explores practical strategies to balance team welfare, prevent burnout, and enhance productivity through strengths-based delegation and fostering a trustful work environment. The episode ends with insights on creating optimism and avoiding toxic positivity, along with tips for leaders to maintain resilience in challenging times.

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.
