Overview

Resilience is not a given. You need a strategy. Leaders and business professionals handle grueling hours and exceed high expectations. They are undaunted by challenges and embrace opportunities for growth. They assume they are resilient. But given enough demands, anyone can burn out. This makes logical sense, yet you likely still think it could never be you. You are fabulous and at risk of burning out. Resilience is not an innate character trait. Whether you're in a leadership role or working as part of a team, you need to implement strategies that build and nurture resilience. You need a resilience plan. Award-winning mental health expert Marie-Hélène Pelletier draws on her clinical practice and extensive knowledge in therapeutics and business practices to explore how resilience is the best defense against burnout and how everyone can build it in themselves-not with a one-size-fits-all plan but with strategies to help you create a custom plan. Pelletier uses relatable stories and activities to bring her concepts into context. By working through the exercises in this practical guide, you will have a goal-oriented, custom strategy with the knowledge to implement and sustain it, to protect your health and success into the future.

Second, it not only shows the importance of having a strategic resilience plan, but also details the specific form the plan should take. It's not to be missed."" Robert Cialdini, New York Times-bestselling author of Influence and Pre-Suasion ""This gem of a book draws on best practices from both psychology and business.
