And they are... Grit, I think, played a part of it, but I don't think that's a pillar.

That's just something that sometimes people have.

We look at resilience and we think that when it comes, we're going to have grit and we're going to push through it.

But I think resilience is more than that.

I think it's something that we can prepare for.

It's like...

In architecture, for resilience, they like to build foundations that can withstand all kinds of pressures and weather and unexpected events.

So I like to think that I do that for people and teams.

And my three pillars for resilience are resilience,

community.

So that's one of the reasons why I was really strong is because I had a very good support network near me.

And there were times throughout that and even now in my life when things are hard, the people that are around me that are stronger than me at the moment and rising me up, I literally visualize myself borrowing their strength.

And so when I help friends or there's a few people I do resilience coaching for, I tell them to borrow mine.

So community is a really big part, the support network, to be ready for when your resilience needs to be used.

The next one is values, like our own foundational values and figuring out what they are in our life.

And that also is a big part of teamwork as well, to have aligned values.

But if we don't know what we stand for, how are we going to get through the storm?

Right?

Like we have to be grounded in something.

And the third one is perspective and how we look at things.
