E-Talk-About Series: How U.S. Diplomats Thrive in Adversity

April 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

Thanks to all who attended the E-Talk-About event, “How U.S. Diplomats Thrive in Adversity” and special thanks to speaker Beth Payne for an uplifting and encouraging lecture. Payne describes resilience as “a way of life that helps you succeed no matter what’s happening.” She explains that sustaining a high level of resilience and learning to recognize your behaviors when you are losing resilience is critical. To support that, Payne shared with the audience 5 factors that should be incorporated into everyday life sustain resilience: self-care, problem solving, having a positive outlook, finding a meaning or a purpose, and maintaining social support. Payne offers a resilience action plan that can be found on her website, along with more information about the 5 resilience factors. “Life is always uncertain. I don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring. I can’t predict and so if we focus on maintaining our resilience, we are better able to adapt to uncertainty and change.”
