Resilience, You, Your Work, and Your Life

More and more people in the workforce including executives are starting to realize the toll that wellness, stress, and severe health issues are taking on their jobs and their families.





We all feel it, and we need answers.  And that is where this week's book Resilience @ Work comes in.





Four people sit around a fire at the beach after taking lessons to learn to surf. These people are as different as you and me and carry with them their different personalities.







First there is Hurry, he is a hard worker, always on the go, but as the waves of work get higher and higher, for every step he takes, he gets blown back by the waves 3 steps back.





Always trying the next "Get Rich Quick" Scheme, he doesn't have the resilience to take the long view.





Then there is Worry, she is filled with anxiety, she feels her life has little meaning and as the bills pile up, she feels she is drowning in the sea of "no hope".





Always worried about her appearance in front of others, she lacks the resilience to be her authentic self.





Next comes Steady, she reads the waves an knows when to paddle and to ride them. She is agile and adaptable. But she was not always that way because she had to do a ton of work on herself to get her to this point.







Finally, there is Ready, the eldest of the four. He found his purpose at a young age, but he neglected it. And after floundering around in the sea of life he finally has come to understand that he had these gifts all along, but simply was not using them.







Do any of these four people sound like you? Perhaps there is a piece of all of them that you can relate to.







In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author Simon T. Bailey takes well written book and assessment to help you discover who you are, and how you can help yourself become and live as the authentic person you created to be that will give you the greatest opportunity for success.





Simon T. Bailey's book, "Resilience @ Work: How to Coach Yourself into a Thriving Future" is an insightful book into ourselves through the perspective of 4 people named Hurry, Worry, Steady, and Ready.



Each person has their own story and are in different places in life trying to find their authenticity and purpose.



The book is a powerful allegory, filled with thought provoking moments that enlighten the reader to ask themselves to be more open to where they are at.



As the book journeys on the reader experiences the impact of the fire side discussions between the members of the group and how they each move toward a new direction in their life and future.







This book although very different gave me the feel of the best-selling book "Who Moved My Cheese".  I will say that this book dives much deeper.



In addition, this book also comes with assessments so that you can get sense of who you are in the story and perhaps where you need to get some help and go to work on you.
