Resilience is the capacity to recover, adapt and reorganize after stress, disruption or adversity.
Resilience is the capacity to recover, adapt and reorganize after stress, disruption or adversity.
It does not mean remaining unchanged.
Sometimes resilience looks like returning to familiar functioning. Sometimes the experience changes what matters, what feels possible or how someone chooses to live.
A resilient system can bend, recover and learn without organizing all future life around a previous disruption.
This is why resilience should never be used as a demand that people endure endlessly. A workplace that continually harms people does not become healthy because its employees attend resilience training.
Real resilience includes knowing when to adapt and when the environment itself needs to change.
