  • Tip #21 - Resilience for survival and growth - Dr Karina de Bruin

    8 MAY 2020 · In the engineering world, resilience refers to the ability of an object, or structure, to spring back into shape after it was exposed to a severe force or pressure. Other terms associated with resilience are elasticity, flexibility, pliability, plasticity, and adaptability. In human terms, resilience refers to the ability of a person to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change, and keep going even when facing difficult circumstances. In order to survive in uncertain and difficult times, resilience is probably one of the most important skills for anyone to possess.

  • Tip #17 - Living with purpose - Dr Renate Scherrer

    17 APR 2020 · When we are going through very tough times, finding purpose and meaning in our existence is one of the most powerful ways to build resilience.

  • Tip #13 - The power of adaptability - Dr Renate Scherrer

    14 APR 2020 · Adaptability is such an important and essential survival mechanism. Charles Darwin said: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” The fact is that most human beings will not choose to change if they have a choice. But when we are forced to or if the pain of not changing outweighs the pain of staying the same, then we find ourselves adapting and looking back afterwards with surprise at what we have gained.
