Blog : Cultivating Resilience Through a Systems Thinking Lens
As reviewers, we have had the pleasure of undertaking and recently completing three Resilience micro-credential Courses with Manchester University. It was a great learning experience with some amazingly talented and dedicated fellow travellers and has both highlighted and reinforced my understanding of the systemic nature of resilience: A shift at one level ripples through all. If I could share something helpful about resilience with others, whether in a workshop, coaching session or conversation, it would be the interconnected nature of resilience across individual/personal, team/organisational and community/societal contexts.
Thought Leadership Paper : The Art of “Being” while “Doing” in Ambiguous Times
We live in an era characterised by ambiguity, complexity, and continuous change. Leaders and their organisations frequently face shifting priorities, evolving team dynamics and growing global political and economic volatility. Often, the instinctive reaction to this volatility is to intensify activity: moving faster, deciding sooner, and working harder. Yet, at Elevate-CLE, we consistently observe that resilience and sustained effectiveness in VUCA contexts actually stem from striking a balance between decisive action and intentional presence. What we refer to, and what many of our clients know well, is the conscious practice of “being” while “doing.”
Resilient Leadership in Uncertain Times: Strengthening Organisations and Communities
The past few weeks have posed immense challenges for organisations dependent on US funding, forcing many to halt or scale back critical programs. This uncertainty is not only creating stress for teams but also directly impacting the communities that rely on these services, from healthcare and education to humanitarian aid. For leaders, the pressure to make tough decisions in a rapidly changing, volatile environment is overwhelming. In a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world, where change is the only constant, the weight of responsibility can feel isolating.
