Resilience is the capacity to not only survive life's challenges, but to learn and grow from them, to become stronger as a result of such challenges. While stress, trauma, adversity, and dramatic change are rarely welcome, your personal resilience enables you to find a way to move beyond the challenge and toward a stronger self. This capacity, a key factor in determining how people will respond to change, is something that each of us can grow and strengthen in our lives. Since 1995, Russell Consulting has been researching the characteristics that contribute to personal resilience. We identified eight human characteristics or capacities that, if developed, can enable someone to deal more effectively with change and stress. The eight capacities are:
Our exploration of these eight capacities led us to develop an instrument to measure the strength of our resilience. Called the Resilience Quotient™ or RQ, this simple self-assessment tool enables someone to determine their resilience level. Are you interested in knowing more about your resilience? Curious about how you would score on the RQ? Request a free copy of the Resilience Quotient™ today (for your personal use only). Become a licensed user or distributor of the RQ! Because of the growing interest in the RQ, we have recently developed an authorized licensed user agreement and an authorized distributor agreement. So, if you'd like to use the RQ in your work or want to become a distributor of the RQ to your clients, then contact us for details. Send us an e-mail at RCI@RussellConsultingInc.com or call us at 608.274.4482. Russell Consulting is conducting research on the RQ and would like your feedback on the instrument. Send us an e-mail at RCI@RussellConsultingInc.com today to receive a PDF version of the RQ assessment. All we ask in return is that you send us a copy of your scoresheet and your feedback on the RQ assessment and its dimensions. We look forward to hearing from you.
