Resiliency - Learnings from the last weekend...
Sat in a room full of people, when asked who thought England had a chance of beating Ireland in their Six Nations clash, there was a tumbleweed as no more than five hands were raised....
??????? Reflecting on this past weekend's sports events, I watched incredible displays of resilience that resonate completely with the challenges we face in both life and business.
From England's breathtaking victory over Ireland in the last minute of their rugby clash at Twicenham (which I was lucky enough to attend), to Anthony Joshua's continued momentum under new trainer Ben Davison with a dominant knockout performance against Francis Ngannou, each moment exemplifies the unwavering determination needed to overcome setbacks and emerge victorious.
Emma Radacanu's journey is another poignant reminder of the resilience required to navigate the highs and lows of success. Despite facing adversity after her meteoric rise to fame, she's showing remarkable resilience in regaining her form and continuing her pursuit of excellence.
Even in football, Arsenal's late goal against Brentford underscores the importance of resilience in the pursuit of long-term goals. With over two decades since their last league title, their perseverance reflects a steadfast commitment to success despite past challenges.
This caused me to think back to Alex Ferguson's reign, and the fact that what made him so successful, was his longevity in football management at the same club, and importantly, the ability to survive through the hard times and rebuild before coming again. That ability, to recognise that you might not win them all, but if you're able to learn from your losses, and come again, you will out perform all of your competition in the long run.
As Tom Hanks once said, "This too shall pass." This reminder of the transient nature of both triumphs and tribulations underscores the need for resilience in our mindset. Those with the strongest resilience are better equipped to weather the storms of life and business, emerging stronger and more prepared to beat the odds. ?? #Resilience #OvercomingAdversity #BusinessSuccess #LifelessonsinSport
