Lions are not called kings among animals without a reason. Their strong symbolic power has accompanied and fascinated us since ancient times. It stands for power, serenity and above all for inner strength.

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!

The capabilty of emerging stronger from challenging and stressful situations is known as resilience and can be translated as LÖWENSTARK. The Future Institute and many digital experts cite resilience as the top quality that makes companies fit for the future. In our fast-moving world of today, where the unforeseen and an outright explosive increase in complexity, and, bound up with this, insecurity, increasingly take hold of our jobs and lives, this staying power is an invaluable advantage. Comparable to our immune system, which protects our body from diseases, resilience forms the immune system for our psyche, which supports us in dealing with stress, strain and new demands. Regaining our own balance, especially after failures and adversities, boosts our confidence and trust in ourselves, and at the same time enables us to rise to new challenges.

After all, transformation is a process. It challenges people in companies to the utmost and has long since become a constant companion of our time.

However, only few of us were born to be resilient.

The good thing, then, is that resilience can be learned. In fact, some people acquire this enviable quality in a completely natural way when they have successfully mastered difficult crises.

The second piece of good news is that it doesn’t actually take a crisis to become resilient! Our brain has amazing neural resources. If we know how to activate them, we can be strong as a lion and master challenging situations confidently, sovereignly and safely. This way, we will be able to grow in the face of whatever life may be throwing at us and whatever may seem to take us to our professional limits.
