resilience resources, books, people, places, experts, articles
Resilience is a topic close to my heart – and on Friday 25th October 2019, in the Civic Offices Dublin, I had the opportunity through Startup Week Dublin, to present a talk titled ‘The Resilient Startup’ .
The talk was based on my 25 years experience in business combined with research I had conducted on resilience for business owners and startups. It’s also a combination of my research in the fields of mental health and wellbeing, and the resilience research that emerged from both of these fields.
In essence, the talk was designed to equip attendees with an overview of resilience knowledge and skills, and how they can benefit at an individual, startup and small business level.
To this end, the list below is some of the resources I have used and referenced in developing my understanding and practice of resilience.
They are a combination of books, experts, places and articles that I have found to be helpful and credible.
(On Books: please note, some of these books are not about resilience per sae, but have shaped my understanding of the human condition and how it relates to resilience at an individual, and small business, level)
