Dr. Taryn Marie

How do you harness your resilience story to create more strength and hope? From stories of self-discovery and transformation to stories of second chances after incarceration, we know very well the power of story. Yet oftentimes we believe we need to check our real-life resilience stories at the proverbial office door because we fear our own stories of facing hardship will signal weakness, rather than demonstrating strength.

Our stories of facing challenge, change, and complexity, the Big 3 C’s, are often the last stories we want to tell, but in hiding these meaningful experiences we miss meaningful opportunities to create greater connection, cohesion, and communication – within our most significant relationships personally and professionally.

By being brave enough to share our resilience stories, we engage in the greatest human alchemy that exists: When we share out resilience stories we transform those dark times of challenge, into a light we shine into the world, that illuminates the path of others, individuals, teams, and organizations as a whole, in the midst of their difficulty, to both uplift, inspire, and encourage them when they need it most.

• How to identify your resilience stories through the Reverse Bucket List
• Why we often hide from our resilience stories rather than capitalizing on our story as our superpower
• The three ingredients of a powerful resilience story that uplifts, inspires, and encourages
• An experiential exercise to demonstrate that the universal elements that connect us are greater than we imagine
• How to harness our innate vulnerability, authenticity, and empathy to stop hiding our resilience, and instead supercharge our story

In addition to her signature keynote, Dr. Taryn Marie and her team at the Resilience Leadership Institute (RLI) are offering a signature workshop to teach leaders how to share their resilience stories in service of amplifying the humanity with their organizations, along with creating greater connection, enhancing communication, and increasing team cohesion, especially in times for facing The Big 3 C’s, when people need to hear stories the foster hope and inspire, at the times it is critical to have a light to guide them on their path when they face difficult and ambiguous situations.

The most magnetic and sought-after leaders lead from a place of deep purpose and authenticity. People follow leaders who are able to capitalize on their resilience stories in service of galvanizing their team. They’ve learned how to share inspiring stories about facing challenge in a manner that both humanizes them and inspires those around them. Each participant in the signature Your Story is Your Superpower workshop will identify one key resilience story and learn how to share that story in five minutes or less to convey how facing this trial contributes to their ability to lead from a place of purpose and strength. By learning and following the Resilience Story Blueprint, workshop participants will emerge with a story that transforms their challenges to triumphs in a manner that catalyzes and engages the listener, while conveying strength, becoming a leader who communicates powerful and prolifically and captures the hearts and minds of those within their organization.

As AI and technological advances continue to be cornerstones in our world of work, with machines taking over many “hard skills” formerly carried out by humans, skills previously considered “soft” such as leadership, communication, and empathy are, and will continue to separate organizations that flourish from those that flounder. In a business landscape characterized by “technologification”, for the first time, humanity will be in shorter supply, meaning that investments made in leadership and deepening human connection will become an even more significant differentiator.

In particular, resilience is not only no longer a “soft skill”, it is the key ingredient for those who wish to amplify their change agility, enhance their personal leadership, and are looking for an edge when navigating disruption and uncertainty. Yet, how do we identify, let alone cultivate resilience for leaders, teams, and enterprise culture? The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People provides the blueprint, based upon two decades of empirical research, to identify, develop, and amplify resilience as a means to both enhance the quality of relationships and engagement inside organizations, alongside providing the skills required to empower leaders and teams to sustainably and effectively navigate large-scale change and uncertainty.

What are the attributes that determine whether your leaders, teams, and organization will flourish or fold in times of change and transition? After conducting twenty years of research to understand how people effectively face challenge, resilience has emerged as the key differentiator that sustains people in moments of difficulty, ambiguity, and adversity.
