Episode 79 - The Future of Resilience
Monday Apr 03, 2023
Monday Apr 03, 2023
We all approach our careers differently and have different perspectives. But one thing we have in common is the future is yet unknown. Here at the Resilience Think Tank, we asked you to tell us – what is the future of resilience?
Hello everyone, welcome to episode 79 - as the Resilience Think Tank presents the Resilient Journey podcast! Today I’m joined by a number of my colleagues as we discuss the future of resilience.
First, I’m joined by RTT co-founder and managing partner Milena Maneva as she tells us about her favorite future of resilience submissions. Then I’m joined by four resilience professionals who expand on their submissions and tell me why we must be connected to each other, why they are optimistic, feel uncertain or even that the future is unnecessarily complex.
This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Karen Beeson.

Monday Mar 20, 2023
Monday Mar 20, 2023
Have you ever reached a point in your life that you would consider “rock bottom”. What did you do about it? Did you know, that even at rock bottom you have a choice? You can be resilient or find an even lower rock bottom.
Hello everyone, welcome to episode 78 - as the Resilience Think Tank presents the Resilient Journey podcast! Today I’m joined by NHL analyst and author of the new book Down and Back – Justin Bourne.
Justin and I talk about how alcohol went from being something he casually enjoyed to something he had to have and the impact it was having on his life. He explains that as a situation deteriorates, it’s a good idea to think about what comes next if you stay on your current path.
We discuss how maintaining status quo isn’t always a good plan and Justin explains why sometimes "you gotta do what you gotta do."

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 71 - as the Resilience Think Tank presents the Resilient Journey podcast! Today we shift our focus back to operational resilience as I’m joined by Sarah Garrington.
Sarah and I get into a detailed conversation about the difference between business continuity and operational resilience.
But if you think this is a tired old boring conversation, think again. There is still a lot of confusion about the differences between these two things – and Sarah does an outstanding job in explaining it to us. In fact – we go SO deep, it’s too much for just one episode. Sarah talks about how leveraging the conversation around resilience makes us more relevant as continuity professionals.
