You get tested for resilience with difficult situations, be it at home or at work or life in general. Why not a mix of all! hehe. But are you growing through it or falling back?

Who's A Resilient Person?

Resilience is a skill rather than a trait you are born with. One develops resilience gradually every time they experience adversity.

Do You Want To Be More Resilient? Here Are The Essentials:

We all go through hard and difficult situations from time to time, but how we get ahead (resilience) is what gives us the ability to think of such times as learning paths rather than obstacles.

Resilience is the psychological quality that allows some people to be knocked down by the adversities of life and come back at least as strong as before. Rather than letting difficulties, traumatic events, or failure overcome them and drain their resolve, highly resilient people find a way to change course, emotionally heal, and continue moving toward their goals.

Creative Confidence

Refine what the other person really looking for by using this simple yet effective method during your conversations with others.

The Echoing Technique 

It is when you mirror the speaker infront of you. To rephrase or repeat the last thing they said to keep them engaged and continued further on thier conversation. Be it your friend, partner, or even a customer.

What's Echoing?

Sometimes when we get involved in a conversation, a presentation, or a simple one on one talk, we miss some main points the speaker is trying to convey. Echoing can help us get the most out of a conversation when we need it the most. It works as a great problem solving technique because it digs deeper on each question you ask until you have the most facts on your table.

Why We Should Use Echoing More Often.

Repeat the last thing they said as:<ul><li>A question </li><li>A rephrase </li><li>Or just as plain as it is </li></ul>Ask them if that's what you think they mean. Refine their sentence.Or just say the last word they said. It will keep it running

How To Echo

Repeating people's words can be very important in building likability, comfort, and social connectedness. Psychologists are calling this the "echo effect."
