Episode 81. Ordinary Resilience: How To Adapt And Thrive In The Face Of Challenges At Work And In Life – Dr Luis Velasquez

Looking to learn more about resilience and the strategies that can help you adapt and thrive when challenged at work and in life? I discussed this, his book Ordinary Resilience and so much more with Luis Velasquez, MBA, PhD. on Episode 81 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

How Luis was inspired by his father who overcame a terrible accident to build a successful business,

Overcoming being diagnosed with a brain tumour which took away a successful career as an academic,

The importance of reframing difficult situations,

The three key drivers of resilience,

The five core pillars of resilience

Expanding your comfort zone,

Focusing on the potential benefits not the downside when faced with a challenging situation,

Being aware of the value that you are creating at work or in your business, and

Potential strategies for building resilience.

Luis is an executive coach in Silicon Valley and a facilitator for the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Once a university professor and research scientist, Luis helps mid-level managers to C-suite executives around the world learn, adapt, grow, and thrive by helping them learn how to reframe their challenges and take the most beneficial next step.

Luis is a contributor to Harvard Business Review and Fast Company and was featured in best-selling author Dorie Clark’s book, The Long Game. An avid endurance athlete, he runs marathons, ultra-marathons, and Ironman triathlons.

Drawing from his rich background and personal challenges, including recovering from a life-altering medical diagnosis, Luis brings a unique perspective to the discussion of leadership and resilience.
