The Book

Jenny Campbell is the expert thought leader on resilience and wellbeing, whose knowledge and application is based on significant academic research and a strong foundation of understanding what is myth and truth about the subject. The Resilience Dynamic peels back the layers of traditional behaviours in organisations that hold people back from realising their potential and as a result produces mediocre results and relationships.

Learn how being resilient can lead to improved self-confidence and increased capacity for change. The gold continues to show through in the many practical, tried and tested exercises and case studies to support personal and, therefore, organisational resilience.

From personal experience of the Resilience Engine, and now the book that both supports and extends the learning, I encourage everyone to put this at the top of their reading list.

This book is perfect if you are serious about the need for resilience. For anyone prepared to embrace change and to learn how to balance wellbeing and performance, the contents of the book will show you the way.

Based on research with case studies and examples, the reader is taken on a journey where the tools and techniques of resilience are made accessible. The stereotypes and myths are challenged and alternative strategies set out – an insightful challenge to all leaders in today’s business arena.

Practical, persuasive, accessible and energising The Resilience Dynamic blasts away the accepted myths and helplessness surrounding the concept of resilience and provides realistic tools to help the reader start their journey towards higher performance and more importantly greater wellbeing.

Carve out some protected time, some ‘slow-down space’, and allow yourself to think deeply about how your ability to function and succeed depends on your level of resilience at any point in time, and learn how to re-fuel your resilience tank so that you can feel stronger, safer and more able to embrace and even enjoy the changes and challenges in your life!

This is a highly engaging book which successfully teaches the ‘art of resilience’ in a pragmatic and effective way.

Having had the privilege of being coached by Jenny Campbell personally using these techniques, I can unequivocally recommend the tools and the book as a unique and successful approach to achieve greater personal resilience and success.

A very well built journey into the Resilience world. It clarifies with simple examples how resilience clearly drives high performance leadership. The book drove you in deepening your understanding of how resilience can create surplus capacity well beyond coping and bouncing back, towards improving productivity.

Jenny teaches you how to measure and interpret resilience as well as develop a practice to find additional deep sources to increase it. A simple to read, rigorous scientific exercise on behavioural modeling based on real business life examples. Powerful.

This is an important practice and reference book that illustrates “the resilience way” and demonstrates the real personal benefits accessible to leaders and managers at all stages in their careers. Jenny Campbell analyses the impacts of stress and explains how the negatives can be converted to positives by developing the practices she recommends. Her direct, no nonsense style ensures that ten years’ fieldwork and case studies are converted into a comprehensible, no jargon guide which allows the reader to aspire to and practise being “resourceful, adaptable and energised” on the pathway to “innovation and excellence in leading change”.
