Fall 7 times, get up 8  

The rapid company’s impact council is an invitation community, an invitation to a leader, specialist, manager and entrepreneurs who share our inspectors with our audience. Members pay annual duties for peers learning, thinking leadership opportunities, events and more.


It has a Japanese fathers that perfectly captures what is meant to me perfectly: “Seven times, get up eight.” Not only returns after failures, in fact, find the ways of progress in spite of them.

Cleanliness has recently come to my mind. Among the parents of the inevitable aging, “all children are right,” and are constantly changing, there is a reason for calling us for the nominations that this muscle builds this muscles, but they are stronger.

I wanted to share some thoughts to build some thoughts along the many dimensions of our lives – because it faced, we need the only constant change change and need strategies to move forward.

Private Daisence: Know your North Star 

I think the resilience begins to be clear about your basic values; It’s your map when everything changes and lost.

I saw this with my brother recently. It is an integrated doctor who has a practice that helps patients with chronic terms like Lyme. His experience was so busy that he began to burn. In the absence of a priority to take care of himself, he realized that he could not help others. (There’s a reason that there is a reason that it reminds you to put your own oxygen mask first!)

This is the basis of sustainability, especially when it becomes the most important thing for you and these values, especially when it becomes difficult. It’s not always easy.

I learned this in the past toxic work environment. Looking back, even painful experiences taught me important lessons. Each one made me clearly than I didn’t want and helped me think more about what was suitable for me.

When you’re clear in your values, you can air in almost any storm, because you have an internal compass aimed at you.

Sustainability of the team: Create psychological security 

The team’s sustainability is built on personal units, but it is due to the creation of an environment where everyone can develop together.

In Finn, our weekly status meetings are sometimes becoming emotional checks after difficulty events. There are days that we support each other with problems with life problems and talks about our support. Of course, the work is critical, but we see each other as human. These psychological security are very important. This allows you to be sensitive, failing to fail and learn together.

Another side of the team’s sustainability covers various prospects. Our team covers Boomers to Millennials, each generation of the country and around the world for millennia teams. This diversity creates an incredible symbiotic training environment that we all teach each other.

Organizational Sustainability: Clarity in your Mission 

What are organizations not working? The clarity and values ​​of the clarity and values ​​around the mission – the principle of the northern star again, but the organizational level. We established a communication culture where the management is honest about difficulties and potential risks and is very loyal to our principles. We stayed continuously; As a safe port in the storm, because we have clarified who we are and why we stand for.

This reminds the companies thrown in Dei Bandwagon without an original commitment. When they start pressure, they left these initiatives response instead of working from basic values. True organizational sustainability requires authenticity

Another important element has a brain confidence and ears out of our main team. You really need people who are related to the culture and customers who can tell you what happened. Do you have tendencies or threats on the horizon? What does the customer review say? What is our best experience?

If you don’t want to obey yourself without filtering truth, you can’t be strong. You need to see blind spots before there are bigger problems.

Brand resistant: wait for problems 

I focused that when preparing for the worst is the worst rarely. The brand is resistant. How stamps require a large number of planning and spirit search to maintain confidence through survey, air storms and difficulties. Companies who examine the difficulties, examines the problems waiting for the problems and praise weaknesses, will come from crises, maybe they grow in the process.

An interesting approach is to work through these potential crises before starting your worst scenarios, real monster-underlying situations and catastrophes. This means analyzing active posture information and asking difficult questions. How should you be transparent with weaknesses when you still strengthen? Which durable stories will resonate with your interesting owners?

I’ve met this in advance in an earlier agency. As a marketing device, I had to stand in front of the weekly company, despite our best marketing efforts, did not invest in investing in the necessary resources to raise our leadership to the level. I tried to put the best face to things, I tried to share the messages of Hope when known behind the scenes that the main changes did not happen.

This taught me there are restrictions on the leadership of transparency. You must be quite transparent to feel safe, but sometimes you need to carry certain loads of yourself. Finding this balance is part of the sustainability.

Staying of permanent thinking 

Daicila never falls – we all do not fall. About to find the lesson in each decline and use it to move forward with greater wisdom and power.

So, when you encounter your next problem, and remember a personal, professional or somewhere: Whenever you get up again, you don’t just go to the place where you already have it, you are moving forward to a new place.
