Madelyn Blair, PhD's Linkedin Analytics

I’m an executive coach, former faculty at Columbia University, best selling author, and TV host of Unlocked posted to YouTube and LinkedIn on Thursday at noon New York time. I’ve written five books including Unlocked: Discover how to embrace the unexpected which became a #1 bestseller international. I also blog on Psychology Today on Resilient Leadership. As a coach, it's important to know I can understand your concerns. From discovering the real meaning of resilience being faced with a child with a brain tumor to managing a large division through major organizational upheavals, I know resilience. I’m Madelyn Blair, and I haven’t been able to stop helping others understand the power of this native ability and how it can be nurtured and expanded for those times when the unexpected happens or you just know it’s time for a change. Resilience to me is that moment when you have to decide what to do in order to move forward. Some call that bouncing back. I think resilience is far more than that. Bouncing always sounds like a trampoline giving you a push on your way up. Resilience actually comes from within – like a long jump. It's the decision. You have to develop and nurture your resilience over time and with regular practice. I coach and mentor people through the five practices which are described in my book. I coach one on one for the period needed or with small groups that is done over several weeks. Time gives you the opportunity to learn the variations of each of the practices that work best for you. In a group, you meet others who come to support you. In either case, it can be virtual, so your time is efficiently used. I’ve worked with large and small organizations and in 1988 founded Pelerei, a boutique consulting firm. Previous to starting my company, I was a Division Chief at the World Bank and created a division that regularly out-performed others. I tell you this so that you know that I have real management experience in large organizations and from the perspective of a woman. I actually understand what it means to take on the impossible and make it work even when things are constantly disrupted. I know what it’s like to be the only woman at the table. I know what it means to know that you can do more. I’ve worked through barriers and learned how to keep my energy high and full of hope. I want to help you learn how to do that, too.
