What actually is resilience? We're looking at this in our webinar today on #WorldKindnessDay - here's what it means:-

The ability to recover, adapt, and thrive through adversity.

It's not "bouncing back" or "pushing through", especially when it's a painful or particularly stressful life moment.

Yes please, also our President @lawlibjulia.bsky.social too!

Knowing how to search better is always time well spent 📚
