Abstract

This chapter explores the practice of developing resilience through a discussion of our own experiences of facing adversity. Within the context of academia, we discuss how we can prepare to respond with resilience to hardships. This includes a discussion of vulnerability, cultivating a positive, growth mindset, and observing resilience in others. Moving forward, we focus on responding with resilience and we present a range of practical approaches for developing resilience. We highlight the importance of practice in developing resilience, sharing the load, being selective with focus and engaging in reflection. In conclusion, we provide several key lessons, informed by our own experience, on how individuals can proactively prepare and effectively respond to challenges, thereby developing their resilience.
