Building a Resilience Plan
Recently, Brian, Linda and I had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Marie-Hélène Pelletier, affectionately known as MH, about her new book, The Resilience Plan: a Strategic Approach to Optimizing your Work Performance and Mental Health. The book serves as a guide for both leaders and professionals, advocating for the development of resilience as a means to enhance work performance and ensure mental health sustainability.
MH excels in transforming intricate psychological research into actionable strategies that empower professionals, business leaders, and their teams to excel and flourish. Below are a few highlights from our lively discussion.
Practical steps towards resilience
Change doesn’t happen all at once or overnight. MH’s insights challenge us to embrace self-awareness and take practical steps toward resilience—one incremental change at a time.
Obstacles to wellness
Even high achievers and leaders can face obstacles to mental health and wellness. Often, these obstacles are heightened by the reluctance to seek help or admit the need for resources. In our conversation, MH sheds light on the power of employee and family assistance programs for mental health, https://virtudent.com/pharmacy/. She also shares real-life success stories that demonstrate personal and professional growth.
Resilience in the workplace
Resilience is like a double helix. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the delicate balance between emotional health and the ever-evolving demands of our professional lives. MH uses the double helix metaphor to represent the intertwining of personal and professional resilience.
