A long, long time ago, I was an elected councillor in the Township of Langley. At the time, we were reviewing community emergency plans and talking a lot about RESILIENCE.
If disaster struck, could our systems be put back in quick order? How would our community handle trouble? Could we bounce back?
This month, ICBA Wellness looks at RESILIENCE in a personal way. As our monthly introduction puts it, “Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity and adapt in the face of challenges. It’s more than just enduring tough times; it’s about growing stronger and wiser through them. Whether confronting personal setbacks, overcoming professional obstacles, or navigating societal upheavals, resilience enables individuals and communities to persevere, transform, and ultimately thrive.”
Or, as the immortal Rocky Balboa would put it, “Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up.”
Should be an interesting study this month!
Each week, ICBA’s Jordan Bateman reflects on what we’ve learned as we participate in ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program. ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program is helping more than 100 companies and more than 10,000 construction professionals better understand mental health. This program is free for all ICBA members – check out icba.ca/wellness for details.
