 I've heard it said that life comes at you fast. Never is this saying more true than in today's complex, unpredictable, and hyper-fast world. How do you and your people deal with this battering of new information and the attendant exposure to our overall well-being that this whirlwind can bring? There is much said about the need to increase our individual and collective resilience and immunity to this onslaught in an effort to support overall well-being. But what does this look like in practice? Our colleague and psychologist Dr. Leanne Perry uses the term protective factors to more clearly explain how we can take active measures to help guard against these challenges. Some of us have naturally cultivated protective factors such as strong family or social network. Others practice deliberate mindfulness or active reflection. The good news is that these and other skills can be learned through practice. These and a range of other tools are proven and effective ways to armor ourselves and help us make sense and meaning of the ever-changing present and the uncertain future. What are your protective factors? Lead well this week.
