* WHAT IS RESILIENCE *

We always hear the word 'resilience' nowadays ... and it has become a buzzword that’s often used casually and loosely.

So what does all our research here at The Resilience Centre tell us that it is, actually? For a start, it's a verb, a 'doing' word' ...

It's a dynamic process, and contrary to belief, it is not a personality trait.
