Key Highlights Resilience is a skill set, not an event: Rather than something you call upon in extraordinary moments, resilience requires daily practice, preparation, and intentional habits built during quieter times The flashlight technique: When facing uncertainty, narrow your focus to "what is important now" rather than trying to see everything in the shadows - shine your flashlight on the one next step that will create momentum Shift from "why" to "what's next": Move from rumination (getting stuck asking "why is this happening to me?") to agency by reframing around choices and actions - even choosing to pause is taking control Three pillars of preparedness: Build margin and space in your calendar now, prepare for multiple scenarios (not pessimism, but readiness), and practice maintaining composure in low-stakes moments before high-stakes ones arrive The intersection of urgency and intentionality: Resilience is measured by how you show up when pressure demands speed - slow your physical pace, speak deliberately, and create pauses to signal composure and control to your team Notable Quotes "We are in a marathon and not a sprint.
