Episode 56 - Resilience: The Real Secret Sauce
What is the secret sauce of resilience? Toughing it out, getting in touch with your ‘soft skills’ or something else entirely?
In this episode, I’m joined by Sam Griffiths - aka The Founders’ Friend - who helps people develop self-compassionate high performance. We discuss all things resilience - one of the most essential but potentially hard-won skills any business owner needs to develop.
Sam shares a slice of his squiggly career path to where he is today, via some surprising and sometimes particularly challenging job choices! By folding lived experience into his lifelong passion for learning, Sam has developed a different perspective on what resilience really means and how we can develop it. We also discuss why Sam hates the term ‘soft skills’, what he really learned from being a club doorman, and why crying is just so damn good for you!
This episode is a must for anyone being told to ‘tough out’ the world of business and looking for a more compassionate and ultimately more enjoyable alternative.
