The Resilient Assistant

The Resilient Assistant

It’s an inevitable part of life: We encounter setbacks. We hit adversity. We make mistakes. We have to absorb sudden and sometimes dramatic changes.

Through it all, resilience gives us the power to overcome setbacks, to bounce back and maintain equilibrium. And lucky for us, resilience is not some innate quality, but rather a skill that can be learned and applied. By understanding and activating the principles of resilience, we can bounce back from challenges both large and small, and realize the life we’ve always imagined.

The conference theme is, “The Resilient Assistant.”

Every session will explore the different dimensions of resilience, and how we can apply the science of resilience to transform our experiences in the workplace — even when things don’t go as we planned.

It extends beyond bouncing back: it’s also purposefully bouncing forward. It’s preparing to do so, in advance.

Today’s assistant must harness the driving forces shaping the future, ahead of the curve. They must future-proof their careers by applying change preparation skills to remain agile business partners who reflexively integrate change. Advancing the business (and yourself) requires you to demonstrate learnable proactive resilience: to discern the times and integrate trends, to nimbly assess and flex, poised for transition. Because with the right skillset, you can be:

• prepared to act decisively.
• prepared to transform the workplace.
• prepared to transition with the executive.
• supremely valued now and into the future.
