5 Minute Growth Audit
Resilience is the ability to recover, adapt, and thrive in the face of challenges. It’s not about avoiding stress or setbacks but learning how to navigate them with perspective, strength, and flexibility. In today’s fast-paced world where unexpected changes and pressure are constant resilience is a core skill that fuels both personal well-being and professional success.
The good news? Resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t have; it’s a practice you can strengthen over time. This assessment is designed to help you reflect on your current level of resilience and identify areas where you can build greater capacity to bounce back and move forward with confidence.
Resilience is your ability to adapt, recover, and grow when faced with stress, setbacks, or uncertainty. Answer the following questions to assess your current resilience level.
