After reading my paper many people in different ways have asked Does moving to remarkable mean I stop being resilient?
My answer is a resounding no.
What it does mean for me is remaining resilient yet not seeing being resilient as a struggle, rather as a strength.
Below are some insights and links to others that will help you to grow your resilience as a strength while you move to being remarkable in the areas you must to ensure you thrive on the challenges of change this year and beyond.

For more than two decades an exercise I have been undertaking personally (and helped many of my clients with too) when upgrading 90 day execution plans, is to review and record what I’ll stay doing, stop doing, and start doing. It’s a great way to make resilience a strength. Doing this exercise will build your resilience as a strength.
Interesting article about stop doing here by Jaxier Bajer.
Be remarkable (and resilient).
