CAN tm: Coach Approach Now= using coaching skills to build resilience! what really is resilience? Well one of the ways of describing it is the following:
To better help understand the enormous value that coaching can have to improve resilience, let me use a definition of resilience, one used for physical materials that will help illustrate my contention. In this context, Wikipedia defines resilience as the property of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and then, upon unloading to have this energy recovered[1]. As an executive coach I love that definition, because it suggests an insertion (or investment) of energy that can be recovered after a change occurs. This is exactly what many of my clients are looking for: an investment in themselves that will provide them with the energy to deal with change in the future. In other words, the gains obtained through coaching provide them with the ability to recover from or adjust easily to change.
