Compassionate, Refreshed and Positively Engaged

Facilitated by Beth Weinstock2017

When you think of resilience, what words come to mind?

When you think of people you consider resilient, what adjectives come to mine?

1) What gets in the way of resilience?

2) What builds it?

3) How do we as leaders stay balanced and supportive to others when stress and anxiety challenge resilience?

4) How do we keep our hearts open and available for this hard work and the challenge of sustaining resilience?

Development of Negative Self-Talk, Fear and Distortion


No point in trying

I’ll never get the job

They won’t pick me

I can’t possibly learn that material

They didn’t mean to say it

If they only knew….

I’m too sensitive

I’m making a mountain of a mole hill

I’m such an idiot

I never do it right

I’m just not smart-enough

I’m way too slow

What if I can’t do it?

What if they think I’m better than I am?

Maybe this is the wrong decision

Maybe they won’t include me

Maybe I shouldn’t have said what I said

What are your main thought distortions?

Working with undermining voices to strengthen your Inner coach

Identify:1. Situation– No response to my idea, just silence

2. Thought - “My idea must sound fool; that’s why no one said anything.”

3. Feeling - shame, embarrassment, anger

4. Story- “I am never clear and never get understood… “this group will not value me”

5. Possible Destructive Action- I will drop out

6. Constructive Inner-Coaching™ Message – “That’s a story! You don’t know why they didn’t respond“……” check out what people are thinking”…”See if you can say your idea more clearly if that is the problem” …..“Even if people don’t like the idea it doesn’t mean it is foolish”
