Why resilience is important for yourself and your teams


Laughology’s team is made up of experts with backgrounds in business and performance. For both of these you need resilience.

As a former stand-up comedian, Stephanie Davies, Laughology’s CEO and Head of Happiness, sometimes encountered drunk crowds who slow-clapped her off stage. This was perfect for resilience-building and proved valuable experience for facing various challenges in the business world (where thankfully she's usually clapped onto the stage). A few cutting reviews of her work on the largest comedy website in the UK also helped her cope with direct feedback.

But if you're not a comedian, is this resilience a transferable skill? Does it help in other situations?

Like global pandemics. Or working from home with your partner and three kids. It does. And it is also important to remember that resilience is a work-in-progress. Different things impact it at different times.

At present we’re all pushed to the limit by months of lockdown, social distancing and the possibility of even more measures. While you may feel like ripping off your mask and heading for a bar, there are more productive ways to deal with the challenges we face. We can learn to be even more resilient.

Over the next month we are going to share some top tips for building resilience for yourself, your teams, family, friends and children. We’ll share previous blogs, cheat sheets and helpful hints and tips to help you face the next few months heroically, without having to wear a cape or your pants on the outside.
