3 Secrets of Resilient People

School counsellors and educators, during your well-deserved school break, I encourage you to spend 15 minutes listening to this insightful TEDx Talk by renowned researcher Lucy Hone.

This presentation is not a superficial exploration of resilience but rather an honest, sensitive, and vulnerable account of Hone's personal experience. She courageously tests her own research as she navigates the grief of losing her 12-year-old daughter in a tragic car accident.

Hone's talk offers valuable strategies rooted in her expertise, providing a unique perspective on resilience that can benefit both personal and professional growth.

She shares and explains 3 strategies of resilient people:

1. “Resilient people get that suffering is part of human existence.”
2. “Resilient people are really good at choosing carefully where they select their attention.”
3. “Resilient people ask themselves, ‘Is what I’m doing helping or harming me?’”

Take this opportunity to gain insights that may prove invaluable in your work supporting students and fostering resilience within your school community.
