“Resilience can be taught, can be built, but it means doing things that are going to make you uncomfortable.” Resilience by Victoria Pelletier on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“A really important part of resilience is surrounding yourself with a community that is made up of coaches, leaders, and mentors who can help guide you through it, support you through it, and others who can understand and you can chat with.” Victoria Pelletier talks about having a support system on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“As leaders, it’s imperative for us to communicate in a very different way in terms of the transparency we need to have with people. That helps give a little bit of safety when there’s a challenge or transition coming, but it also means having deeper conversations with team members to understand and unpack what is making them feel that way, and sometimes I find it can be very superficial.” Victoria Pelletier talks about being a supportive leader on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“We’re getting to know humans. We do this in our daily lives. But a lot of people actually find relationships selling quite challenging because you might not get the quick win. You’ve got to be in it for the long game. You’ve got to be prepared to be patient, and you really seek to get to know someone versus just being able to jump in and offer a solution for your problem.”  Relationship selling with Anna Glynn on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“If there is an opportunity for me to share insights, you know, talk with people, give audio calls, give references, whatever it is, I’m happy to hand that over. And the hope, I guess, is that by forming that relationship and building that trust is that when the need arises, when they do need to engage with me, I’m the first person that hopefully they think of.” Anna Glynn talks about creating a more thriving world on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“As a human species, we would not have survived if we were out there on our own. Right? We need others to survive. But what’s more than that? We need others to actually thrive in our lives as well. “ Understanding resilience with Anna Glynn on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
