Building resilience in order to flourish

Bestselling author, international speaker and coach Valorie Burton is also the CEO of the Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute, which provides coaching and resilience training to leaders around the world. Everything she shares in her coaching and new book Rules of Resilience has been tried and tested in her own life

Valorie’s new book shares ways to build resilience to counteract the stressors and challenges that come with adversity: “[but] it’s also needed when we’re dealing with opportunity and positive things that happen, because change requires resilience [too]”. These ‘rules’ are rooted both in the applied positive psychology she practises and her Christian faith: “The exciting thing to me is it all aligns. When you hear [Bible verses like], ‘the joy of the Lord is your strength’ or ‘laughter is good medicine’ or ‘think on things that are lovely and pure and good’ there’s science that backs it up.”
