Resilience is the capability to adapt and recover from challenges. Research shows that working women report feeling up to 7% less resilient than their male counterparts, and this gap reflects the impact on confidence, performance and wellbeing.
Being resilient means successfully adapting to change while maintaining psychological wellbeing in the face of adversity. It is the ability to bounce back from harsh experiences, using challenges as opportunities for difficulties. By developing resilience, people can navigate uncertainty, recover from setbacks and move forward with strength.

Building mental resilience starts with recognising your strengths and the challenges that you have already overcome. When you remind yourself of the victories, this boosts confidence in tough times. You can also keep images or sayings that inspire you to use when you are faced with adversity, and make sure to reward yourself when you have overcome obstacles. Alternatively, hire an expert resilience speaker as they can provide valuable insights and practical tips on how to strengthen mental toughness.
