Resilience part 2 - The Final Three Pillars: Health, Tenacity & Collaboration
Podcast Title: Resilience: What Is It & How Do I Get It?Episode Title: Part 2 – The Final Three Pillars: Health, Tenacity & Collaboration
Episode Summary
In this second instalment of our deep dive into resilience, we turn our attention to the final three pillars of the six-pillar framework: Health, Tenacity, and Collaboration. We pick up where we left off—after exploring Vision, Composure, and Reasoning—and discuss how a holistic approach to well-being, a determined spirit, and a strong support network can all contribute to personal and professional resilience. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a complete picture of how the six pillars work together to help you not just survive challenges but also thrive through them.
Recap of Part 1
Vision, Composure, Reasoning: The first three pillars we covered and how they lay the groundwork for a resilient mindset.
Key Discussion Points
Pillar 4: Health
Physical Well-Being: Why proper sleep, nutrition, and exercise are essential for maintaining resilience.
Mental Health & Emotional Wellness: Recognizing signs of stress, anxiety, or burnout and taking proactive steps to address them.
Holistic Approach: How balancing both mind and body fortifies your overall resilience.
Pillar 5: Tenacity
Persistence & Grit: Understanding why staying the course, even in the face of setbacks, is crucial for long-term success.
Overcoming Obstacles: Strategies for reframing failures as learning opportunities rather than endpoints.
Staying Motivated: Practical tips for reigniting motivation when your energy or enthusiasm dips.
Pillar 6: Collaboration
The Power of Relationships: How leaning on others—and being there for them—enhances resilience.
Building Support Networks: Identifying and nurturing communities, mentors, and friends who can help you navigate tough times.
Teamwork & Mutual Growth: Ways to work together effectively in both personal and professional settings to foster collective resilience.

Tenacity Action Plan: Pick a current goal and list 2–3 ways you can persist when obstacles inevitably arise (e.g., daily affirmations, sharing progress with an accountability partner).
Collaboration Corner: Identify at least one person or group you can reach out to for support, feedback, or shared learning.
Listener Challenge
