Would you rather stand tall in the storm, or bend with it?
Palm trees know the secret
You and I are a lot like palm trees.
They live 70-100 years. So do we.
They encounter some big storms every year. So do we.
When the storm comes, they flex and bend in the wind. What looks like survival actually makes them stronger on a cellular level. The same thing happens to you and me.
Palm trees are resilient.
You were made to bounce back
Resilience is a critical leadership muscle.
It’s built when plans collapse. When team members leave. When everything is falling apart.
It’s the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Just like the palm tree.
So when you are in the storm, you’re not breaking, you’re getting stronger. Just like the palm tree.
Our people are made to bounce back
When we see others bent and swaying, it’s easy to judge by outward appearance. The way they talk. Their attitude. Their work.
But maybe there is an invisible storm going on in them. And they are slowly getting stronger. Just like the palm tree.
Our teams need our perspective…because we’ve been through the storms too. We know what it feels like.
But we know they will bounce back stronger.
Just like the palm tree.
