I was inspired to start Prosilience following a remarkable turn of events in my own life.

 

In 2001 I was told I had 5 years left to live. I had been diagnosed with an incurable chronic Leukaemia. I had a young family and needed to find a way to live and work with an incredibly uncertain future.

​

Over the years that followed my condition progressed, then unexpectedly, and without treatment, started to regress. By 2022 the Leukaemia had gone and I was discharged. There was no medical intervention during those 21 years.

 

This remarkable turn of events spurred me to reflect on living and working whilst carrying the knowledge of a very uncertain future.

​

I had worked in senior positions for some globally important multi-national organisations and the uncertainty I was living with had shaped my purpose, values and approach to leadership.  

 

Everyone is living with uncertainty and many are working whilst carrying a heavy burden. We often think this demonstrates 'resilience' but resilience, for me, was just one part of a much bigger equation. An equation that required deep reflection.

​​

We're living though the biggest reinvention of the world of work for a hundred years and many people are struggling with the uncertainty and anxiety this brings. Research suggests 75% of people feel overwhelmed and the incidence of chronic conditions is growing, especially in younger people. 

​​

Through-out this, people need to live and work and I believe a healthy, positive workplace culture can improve well being and happiness. Organisations are more productive and successful with employees and leaders who are thriving. 

​​

Uncertainty is here to stay but one thing is certain, you’re going to have to make life and work decisions with incomplete and imperfect information. Proactive Resilience or 'Prosilience' will help you find the missing constant in the equation.
