Turn turbulence into triumph with practical tips for resilience
NOTE! Be sure to read to the end for an unusual and amazing opportunity…
Most people I know are going through some up-and-down, tumultuous times right now. It’s not the same for everyone; these shifts impact each of us differently.
November 5th isn’t the same as March 2020. Some people, including you perhaps, may feel waves of intense feelings right now—crisis feelings. If that sounds like you, keep listening.
I originally created an eBook in March 2020, responding to that world crisis. But after waking up on November 6th this year, I realized it was time to dust it off and share it again. While I haven’t updated the content, I feel it’s still relevant, so I’m putting it out there.
Today, I’ll be sharing highlights from the insights I developed four and a half years ago. We’ll explore how to get ourselves out of crisis mode, grounded, and centered to become more of our true selves. Because as leaders, influencers, and strategic thinkers, life can pull us off balance, scatter us, and leave us feeling unlike ourselves. This guide was built precisely for those moments.
The Savvy Business Owner’s Guide to Thinking Strategically During a Crisis
This guide, which I created as a productivity specialist, is all about finding security and support during crisis times. Today, even as an evolved business coach, those ideas remain essential.
Let’s dive into some highlights:
Productivity Pyramid
When thinking about stability, it’s important to acknowledge feelings of fear and insecurity. Many people are experiencing these right now. Recognize those feelings as real—they form the base of the **Productivity Pyramid**. This concept combines Maslow’s hierarchy with productivity essentials, starting from a secure foundation and building upwards through health, support systems, and finally, productivity.
Stages of Crisis
Understanding the stages of crisis feelings can help us manage our responses. Here are the 10 Stages of Crisis you might relate to:
1. Disbelief – I spoke with people on the 6th, 7th, 8th of November who were experiencing this.
2. Panic – Some are worried about their businesses, feeling they’ll have to take every opportunity to ensure stability.
3. Anger and Blame – As reality sets in, anger can arise, sometimes directed at “the other side.”
4. Sadness and Grief – We mourn what we’ve lost or what we no longer have.
5. Acceptance – If you can reach acceptance, you’re doing great. Accepting reality helps us regain control.
6. Readjustment – Time to strategize and ask, “How do we keep moving forward?”
7. Attuning to a New Normal – Life inevitably brings change. Accepting this helps us adapt.
8. Listening for Strategic Prosperity – Look for what’s working. Even amid a crisis, there’s often an opportunity for growth.
9. Adjusting as Required – Staying flexible helps us navigate new challenges.
10. Peace – It may be hard to believe, but peace is attainable regardless of external chaos.
In the end, choosing peace can be transformative. Imagine if everyone believed that something good is on the horizon. It could change everything.
Having been through numerous crises, from global events to personal challenges, I know that these experiences build resilience. And I know there are more challenges ahead. Yet, every time, we come through stronger.
