Why Resilience Matters
Disruptive change is an ongoing fact of life—be it challenges in health, business, relationships, finances, or any other area. The capacity to metabolize and bounce back from these challenges marks the difference between individuals and organizations that survive and even thrive, and those that do not. The skills required to handle disruptive change skillfully and effectively can be learned.
With this in mind, we created the Resilience Dynamics™ body of work.
Our Unique Approach
What sets us apart from others in the field?
Our approach is based on systems theory and the theory of dissipative structures (self-organizing systems that respond to a state of dis-equilibrium and chaos by re-organizing in a more sophisticated manner).
All aspects and applications of the Resilience Dynamics™ body of work are informed by the FIRO theory (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation), that is, how each individual orients to others and to their environment.
While furnishing behavioral skills and attitudinal shifts, we focus on the transformation of the individual's self-concept.
The Resilience Dynamics™ body of work encompasses the skills, abilities, knowledge, and insight that helps people transform challenges and surmount adversity. It is an ongoing and developing fund of energy and skills that can be used to navigate change and handle current situations more easily.
The approach used in the Resilience Dynamics™ body of work is cognitive and experiential. We provide a set of practical skills that are useful both personally and professionally, in our relationship with ourselves individually as well as in interpersonal relationships. It is a clear model for lifelong practice and development.
The Resilience Dynamics™ body of work rests on three pillars:
1. Stability: the ability to withstand turbulence and still maintain an even keel. Stability is developed by increasing internal capacities to cope with whatever challenges may occur; it enables people to maintain beliefs that they will be able to survive and potentially thrive through any changes.
2. Adaptabilitythe ability to respond flexibly to unforeseen events. Adaptability increases the likelihood of navigating any and all emergent situations successfully; this ability extends to being capable of forecasting future perturbations accurately.
3. Reviability: the ability to rebound from challenges with equal or greater vigor than before the challenge occurred; it relates to the capacity for self-renewal through handling challenges.
There are four phases to work through after experiencing undesired, disruptive change:
Get Started
Develop Your Resources
Take Action
Build Mastery
Individuals and teams are given a road map and guided in a lively exploration that covers a vast territory: assessing and strengthening individual skills, developing networks, changing or refining mindsets, creating an action plan, and utilizing resources.
Applications
The Resilience Dynamics™ body of work and the individual skills that make up the Resilience Dynamics™ Skillset are introduced as appropriate in all of Rewire Leadership's professional engagements and are infused throughout our website.
