Longevity &amp; Performance | SUCCESS | What Achievers Read

You can choose the bear. But can you outrun burnout? A sleep retreat could be the answer.&nbsp;



Let’s stop pretending hustle culture is sustainable. In today’s high-performance world, we build net worth between back-to-back Zoom calls, side hustles and leadership demands. We wear exhaustion like a badge, until our bodies send the invoice.



And, yet, we rarely pause.



Even vacations become performative: Enter jam-packed itineraries, networking on the go and keeping up appearances for the ’gram. We fly thousands of miles only to continue performing—just with a cocktail in hand.



This is where sleep tourism comes in. It’s not a luxury. It’s not an indulgence. It’s a strategic recalibration for ambitious professionals who understand that recovery isn’t optional. It’s essential.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-takeaways-about-sleep-retreats-and-sleep-tourism">Key takeaways about sleep retreats and sleep tourism </h2>



Take a peek at the facts about the power of a sleep retreat and why sleep tourism is making an impact:&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Changing approach to travel: Sleep tourism is helping to transform the way ambitious professionals approach travel, self-care and sustainable success. This could be especially beneficial to women, who tend to experience lower sleep quality than men.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Leadership, sleep and cognitive performance: Prioritizing rest isn’t a retreat from growth; it’s a tool for clarity, productivity and long-term leadership. In fact, sleep and cognitive performance are directly linked: A recent study suggests that sleep deprivation causes neurological pathways to slow down and leads to a reduced mental state.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Renewed return to work: Rest-focused travel offers a blueprint for how high-performers can recover deeply, reset intentionally and return to work with renewed innovation and energy.</li>



<li>The sleep tourism trend can go beyond the hotels: From AI-powered sleep technology to intentional rituals, rest tourism provides actionable strategies professionals can apply far beyond vacation.</li>
</ul>



<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/values-of-a-good-leader/">Exemplary leaders</a> today need to prioritize well-being in order to innovate and serve their teams well. With these concepts in mind, let’s dive into some of the details about just why people are embracing the sleep tourism trend.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-high-achievers-are-prioritizing-rest-over-recreation">Why high-achievers are prioritizing rest over recreation</h2>



Sleep tourism isn’t about escaping responsibilities. It’s about rethinking what it means to show up powerfully in work and in life. For women in particular—many of whom carry the invisible load of both professional and personal care—rest becomes an act of leadership.



Millennials and Gen Z are leading this charge. They’re not just taking time off; they’re designing experiences around full-spectrum recovery. They’re turning away from hustle culture and toward what truly sustains energy, creativity and mental agility.



According to <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/sleep-tourism-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grand View Research</a>, the global sleep tourism market is projected to reach $149 billion by 2030. These travelers are investing in sleep science, mental health, and nervous system regulation—not because they lack ambition, but because they understand that peak performance requires restoration.



In a world where burnout is both epidemic and expected, rest is more than resistance. It can help you <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/10-tips-to-achieve-anything-you-want-in-life/">achieve more</a> and resist burnout. It’s future-proofing.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-sleep-tourism-destinations-can-teach-business-leaders">What sleep tourism destinations can teach business leaders</h2>



Forward-thinking wellness resorts are doing more than offering spa packages. Accommodations focusing on sleep tourism are designing sensory ecosystems that prioritize high-quality sleep and recovery, using tools that offer lessons for life and leadership. Here are a few ways that sleep tourism hotels and accommodations are offering powerful renewal and restoration to travelers.&nbsp;



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-aromatherapy-that-rewires-the-nervous-system">Aromatherapy that rewires the nervous system</h3>



At <a href="https://www.sixsenses.com/en/wellness-spa/personalized-wellness/tibetan-medicine-at-six-senses-vana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Six Senses Vana</a> in the Himalayan foothills, personalized scent journeys use essential oils like lavender (for sleep), jasmine (for anxiety) and peppermint (for energy) to guide your body into recalibration.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sound-therapy-that-clears-mental-bandwidth">Sound therapy that clears mental bandwidth</h3>



<a href="https://www.ourhabitas.com/ras-abrouq/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Habitas Ras Abrouq</a> in Qatar hosts nightly sound ceremonies designed to reset the nervous system. Sound frequencies replace screen fatigue and digital noise with deep, restorative calm.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-smart-sleep-tech-that-optimizes-recovery">Smart sleep tech that optimizes recovery</h3>



At Park Hyatt New York, AI-enhanced <a href="https://www.bryte.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bryte Balance beds</a> adjust firmness and temperature in real time, syncing with your sleep cycle to boost quality. These insights mirror what leading executives are learning: You can’t manage what you don’t measure.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-natural-light-architecture-that-restores-energy">Natural light architecture that restores energy</h3>



<a href="https://soneva.com/resorts/soneva-fushi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Soneva Fushi</a> in the Maldives uses biophilic design—open-air villas, light-tracking spaces and sunrise yoga—to help guests return to circadian balance. The result? Less jet lag, more vitality and sharper thinking. 



Skipping the intense itinerary and focusing on a luxury sleep optimization retreat instead could reap a wealth of benefits.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-designing-a-sleep-retreat-that-rebuilds-you">Designing a sleep retreat that rebuilds you</h2>



You don’t need a luxury resort to apply rest tourism principles. Whether you’re traveling solo for self-renewal or carving out space between board meetings, these strategies can help build resilience into your professional rhythm.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-book-with-purpose-not-pressure">1. Book with purpose, not pressure</h3>



Skip the trend filters and search for terms like “quiet,” “wellness retreat” or “tech-free.” Prioritize accommodations with intentional rest features: blackout curtains, soundproof rooms, in-room aromatherapy.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-treat-your-phone-like-a-consultant">2. Treat your phone like a consultant</h3>



Use it only when needed. Apps like <a href="https://endel.io/">Endel</a> or <a href="https://insighttimer.com/">Insight Timer</a> can support meditation and rest, but the real work is in setting boundaries. Leave devices behind during meals, spa visits and moments meant for reflection.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-build-rituals-that-ground-you">3. Build rituals that ground you</h3>



Start your day with intentional breathwork. Wind down with a journal. Create structure not around productivity but around presence. These small rituals are transferable, whether in Bali or in your Monday morning routine.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-reject-the-must-see-mentality">4. Reject the ‘must-see’ mentality</h3>



Leadership doesn’t always look like forward motion. Schedule unstructured time. Wander. Pause. Let creativity emerge in stillness. It’s often in the quiet moments—not the curated ones—that our best ideas surface.



Take mindfulness beyond your sleep retreat and incorporate more practices into your everyday routine. Our transformative <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/ebook/mindfulness-matters/">Mindfulness Matters e-book</a> can help you get started now.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-beyond-the-sleep-retreat-adopt-healthy-sleep-habits-of-successful-entrepreneurs">Beyond the sleep retreat: Adopt healthy sleep habits of successful entrepreneurs </h2>



Keep the momentum going beyond the sleep tourism trend by developing and maintaining healthy sleep habits all year long. Take a cue from the sleep habits of successful entrepreneurs, leaders and successful people with these quick tips:&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Build in some downtime before bed and practice gratitude journaling.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Prioritize getting enough sleep each night to maintain energy levels. Many <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/50-greatest-entrepreneurs-of-all-time/">successful entrepreneurs</a> aim for eight hours, and Mayo Clinic advises at least seven for adults.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Accept that there will always be challenges, problems and stresses to deal with each day. Lack of sleep won’t reduce your stress.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Reduce or eliminate screens before bed. Experts suggest powering down devices at least 30-60 minutes before going to sleep.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Set your thermostat at an optimal temperature for sleep—between 60 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit for most people.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Understanding how lack of sleep impacts cognitive performance and focus is also critical. Not only does poor sleep hygiene and lack of rest lead to a general reduction in a person’s mental state, it can have an impact on key aspects of memory and even long-term brain health. <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352721823002930" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Research</a> suggests that “attention, learning and memory, language, working memory, and executive function” are all affected by insufficient sleep. <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/success-habits/">Successful habits</a> for leaders and professionals include prioritizing sleep to maintain focus and optimal cognitive functioning.&nbsp;



Need a break from your device before bed? Grab a book. Browse our <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/bestsellers/">bestseller book list</a> for transformative books to help you improve every day.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rest-is-a-leadership-skill-try-sleep-tourism-to-be-a-better-leader">Rest is a leadership skill: Try sleep tourism to be a better leader</h2>



Leaders often talk about innovation, but overlook the mental capacity required to innovate.



We preach clarity and resilience while ignoring the physical and psychological toll of constant output.



Here’s the truth: Sustainable leadership is impossible without strategic rest.&nbsp;



Sleep retreats and sleep tourism offer more than a reset; they offer a prototype for what modern success can look like—one rooted in longevity, emotional intelligence and self-awareness.



For solo travelers, especially women navigating career pressure and high expectations, rest-centered travel becomes more than a break. It becomes a way to reclaim autonomy over how they live, lead and recharge.



So let the emails pile up. Let the itinerary breathe. Let your brain do something revolutionary: rest. Take a sleep retreat and try it for yourself.



When you return, you’ll likely come back not just recharged but recalibrated. You’ll be ready to lead with the kind of clarity and strength that no hustle can replicate.

Leadership | SUCCESS | What Achievers Read

If you’ve spent any time in the leadership or personal development space, you know the specific frustration we are talking about. You work with someone—or perhaps you work on yourself—focused on a big goal. Maybe it’s a new habit, a business breakthrough or a fitness result. And, for a few weeks, it works.



But then, six weeks later, the momentum is gone. The old patterns creep back in.



In a landscape saturated with coaching programs that promise quick fixes, the newly relaunched <a href="http://coaching.success.com">SUCCESS Coaching™ certification</a> stands apart and goes much deeper. In fact, we believe that understanding the root cause of these failures is what separates the best coaching programs from the rest.



And, with that, Glenn Sanford, founder of eXp Realty and managing director of SUCCESS® Enterprises, and Courtland Warren, a veteran facilitator with over 25 years of experience, are inviting you to have a different conversation with them—one that focuses on the root cause of human performance: identity.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-behavioral-coaching-vs-identity-coaching">Behavioral coaching vs. identity coaching</h2>



The central thesis we operate on is simple yet profound: Coaching fails when it addresses behavior without first addressing identity.



Think of it using the “iceberg model.”



Traditional coaching focuses on that visible 10% above the water—the behaviors, habits and results. But we know that the 90% below the surface—your beliefs, values, identity and nervous system regulation—is what actually drives the ship.



Consider the difference in how we speak to ourselves:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Behavioral coaching: “I’m trying to quit smoking.” This relies entirely on willpower, which often fails under stress.</li>



<li>Identity coaching: “I am not a smoker.” This relies on a self-concept; when the identity shifts, the behavior naturally aligns.</li>
</ul>



As Courtland emphasizes in the program: “When identity and behavior conflict, identity almost always wins.” The goal of SUCCESS Coaching™ is to help you shift that internal identity first so that your external actions become next to automatic.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-identity-coaching-works-following-the-success-framework">How identity coaching works—following the SUCCESS framework</h2>



So, how do we facilitate that deep shift together? We have built the program around a proprietary acronym that guides your coaching conversation from inception to sustainable growth.



Here is the framework you’ll use every day as a leader:



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-s-set-intention">S: Set intention</h3>



First, we clarify the “what” and the “why.” We have to distinguish between your client’s surface-level wants and their deep, authentic desires.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask: What do you truly want?</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-u-understand-obstacles">U: Understand obstacles</h3>



Next, you’ll identify the real barriers. We aren’t just looking for a lack of resources; we are looking for internal blocks like limiting beliefs, protective parts (internal family systems) or nervous system dysregulation.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask: What’s really in the way?</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-c-create-your-system">C: Create your system</h3>



As the saying goes, “Good intentions fail; good systems succeed.” In this stage, you focus on building habits and structures that make success inevitable, removing the reliance on fleeting motivation.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask: What structure supports this?</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-c-commit-to-action">C: Commit to action</h3>



Now, you’ll move from planning to execution. But remember, true commitment only arises when your nervous system is regulated and your identity is aligned. We use state management to help clients move past the amygdala’s fear response.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask: What’s your first step?</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-e-engage-support">E: Engage support</h3>



Transformation rarely happens in isolation. You’ll help your clients navigate how their relationships must “evolve or dissolve” as they grow into their new identity.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask: Who’s on your team?</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-s-score-and-reflect">S: Score and reflect</h3>



Progress must be measured at this stage. This involves creating “evidence loops” to reinforce the new identity, allowing them to learn from both wins and setbacks.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask your clients: How will you know?</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-s-sustain-momentum">S: Sustain momentum</h3>



Finally, you’ll help them create long-term change. Momentum is built through small, consistent actions that release dopamine. Your ultimate goal is to build client autonomy so they can eventually coach themselves.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The question you’ll ask: What keeps this alive?</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-become-a-success-certified-coach">How to become a SUCCESS Certified Coach™</h2>



This is your invitation to master the mechanics of human potential. Tier 1 of the program is a hybrid model involving self-paced learning and live weekly training. We ask for a commitment of at least 3-5 hours per week.



Here is a glimpse of the key concepts you will master:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Biology of breakthrough: We dive into the nervous system and polyvagal theory, teaching you to identify “survival mode” versus “thriving mode.”</li>



<li>Identity architecture: We focus on beliefs and self-image, using tools like internal family systems (IFS) to align the subconscious with conscious goals.</li>



<li>Environmental design: We use habit science to bypass decision fatigue.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-launch-your-identity-based-coaching-certification-journey-today">Launch your identity-based coaching certification journey today</h2>



This is more than just a certification: It’s an opportunity to master the language of lasting change. When you integrate these six modules, you stop being just a motivation coach and become an identity architect.



Here are the details you need to know:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Who is this for? While highly relevant for real estate professionals, we designed this for any leader, mentor or influencer who wants to assist people in solving problems and transforming their lives.</li>



<li>The investment: The tuition for the Tier 1 certification is $3,000 with an early-bird rate of $2,497.</li>



<li>The start date: Our first cohort begins January 12, 2026.</li>



<li>What comes next? After this foundation, a Tier 2 Master Coach level will follow, requiring 6 months of active coaching.</li>
</ul>



If your mission is to create autonomy, stability and authentic transformation in the lives of the people you serve, then this is your next step. We are building a global community of leaders who are elevating the standard of identity coaching, and we’re ready for you to join us.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-frequently-asked-questions-faqs">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-what-is-the-fundamental-difference-between-identity-coaching-and-behavioral-coaching">1. What is the fundamental difference between identity coaching and behavioral coaching?</h3>



The core difference lies in the area of focus. Behavioral coaching targets the external action or habit—the visible 10% above the water (the “iceberg model”).&nbsp;



Identity coaching, as taught in the SUCCESS Coaching™ framework, focuses on shifting the internal self-concept, beliefs and nervous system regulation—the 90% below the surface. When the identity shifts (e.g., “I am an entrepreneur”), the desired behavior (e.g., launching a product) becomes next to automatic.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-is-success-coaching-considered-one-of-the-best-coaching-programs-for-transformation">2. Is SUCCESS Coaching™ considered one of the best coaching programs for transformation?</h3>



The <a href="http://coaching.success.com">SUCCESS Coaching™ certification</a> is designed to be one of the best coaching programs by leveraging the legacy of the nearly 130-year-old brand and focusing on permanent, sustainable change rather than temporary motivation. 



Its distinction is the proprietary SUCCESS framework, which integrates advanced concepts like polyvagal theory and internal family systems (IFS) to address the root cause of human performance—identity—a level deeper than most traditional coaching methods.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-how-does-identity-coaching-differ-from-therapy-or-consulting">3. How does identity coaching differ from therapy or consulting?</h3>



Identity coaching is future-focused and centers on the client’s self-generated solutions for growth. It differs from:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Therapy: Therapy is typically past-focused, dealing with healing trauma and addressing mental health conditions and emotional distress.</li>



<li>Consulting: Consulting involves an expert giving advice, diagnosing problems and providing prescribed solutions. Identity coaching, by contrast, is a partnership built on powerful questions and client autonomy.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-what-are-the-key-concepts-mastered-in-the-success-certified-coaching-program">4. What are the key concepts mastered in the SUCCESS Certified™ coaching program?</h3>



The program’s core modules focus on the mechanics of lasting change. Key concepts include the biology of breakthrough (nervous system and polyvagal theory), identity architecture (internal family systems and belief-shifting), and environmental design (habit science to bypass decision fatigue).



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-who-is-the-ideal-candidate-for-the-success-certified-coaching-program">5. Who is the ideal candidate for the SUCCESS Certified™ coaching program?</h3>



The program is ideal for any leader, mentor or influencer committed to creating authentic transformations for others. While highly relevant for real estate and business professionals who lead teams, it is designed for coaches, consultants, executives and HR leaders who want to master the art of facilitating deep identity-based change.

Why the Best Coaching Programs Focus on Identity First—Not Behavior

Why the Best Coaching Programs Focus on Identity First | SUCCESS

https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/best-coaching-programs-identity-first.jpg

Have you ever felt like you’re destined for more, but something keeps holding back your leadership potential? 



Maybe you’ve seen some success, but you know you could achieve more. You look at others on social media getting bigger roles, hitting bolder goals and a voice whispers: “Why not me?”



Think of the caterpillar and the butterfly. Obtaining a leadership mindset isn't just about habits; it's about a deep, fundamental mindset transformation—becoming a new version of yourself.



That’s the kind of transformation we’re discussing today.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-a-leadership-mindset">What’s a Leadership Mindset?</h2>



To understand what a leadership mindset is, you must grasp the concept of power.



I define “power” as the capacity to cause movement. If you have a leader mindset, you have the ability to move things.



Maybe you’re moving a project forward, moving a person out of their comfort zone or moving your entire organization toward a future vision.



The most important tool in this movement is communication. Using your words and your story in a way that inspires others to act—not for your benefit but for reasons that benefit them.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-hidden-price">The Hidden Price</h2>



The biggest obstacle to developing a leadership mindset isn’t external; it’s internal. When I coach clients, I challenge them with a tough question: What’s the benefit you’re getting for holding onto that doubt?



People struggle with this, but every time we peel back the layers, we find safety, comfort or the ability to blame something external for lack of progress.&nbsp;



The belief of “I’m not ready” is often a comfortable shield against the fear of failure. My job in leadership mindset coaching is to get you to look at the other side of that equation: the price.&nbsp;



What’s your doubt costing you in terms of your potential, your opportunities and your ultimate fulfillment?&nbsp;



Recognizing this hidden cost is the moment your true mindset transformation begins.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-great-resistance">The Great Resistance</h2>



Once you see the price of limited thinking, you hit the next barrier, which I call “habit gravity.”



Taking the first step is brutal because your brain’s basic function is to conserve energy. That primal part of your brain resists anything new. It interprets change as a massive, unnecessary expenditure.&nbsp;



Think about a rocket. Most of its fuel is used to escape Earth’s gravity. You face the same struggle.&nbsp;



To create a new leadership mindset, you must embrace that you will have a period of higher expenditure and focus and greater discipline.&nbsp;



This initial push is what’s required to convince your brain that this new way of thinking and acting is permanent.&nbsp;



This is where leadership mindset training helps you build necessary discipline.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-leader-s-armor">A Leader’s Armor</h2>



If you’re going to sustain a leadership mindset, you must accept that adversity is part of the process.&nbsp;



There’s no such thing as success without challenge, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go in without armor.&nbsp;



A leadership mindset supports long-term personal growth by enabling resilience. We can’t prevent obstacles, but we can control how we react to them.&nbsp;



Practice avoiding the three P’s of low resilience:



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Don’t take it personally—the setback isn’t a reflection of your worth.</li>



<li>Don’t let it be pervasive—a failure in one area doesn’t mean failure in all areas.</li>



<li>Don’t view it as permanent—this is a bump in the road, not a brick wall.</li>
</ol>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



For years, I felt like I had to show up perfectly but the work of unburdening is the work of becoming. It means embracing all the sides of yourself: the mistakes, the regrets, the parts you wish were different. That radical self-acceptance is what allows you to lead with authentic integrity.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-excellence-starts-here">Excellence Starts Here</h2>



Now that we’ve walked through this together, I want you to sit with one thing:&nbsp;



You’ve faced those internal whispers, you’ve wrestled with habit gravity and you’ve committed to the mindset transformation that enables you to cause movement in your own life.&nbsp;



That is a profound achievement.



You have a voice, you have wisdom and you have experiences that someone else needs to hear to break free from their own self-limiting beliefs.&nbsp;



You’ve been on the journey; now it’s time to light the path for others.



You’ve done the internal work. Now, let’s turn your experience into a framework and your wisdom into a service.



My advice? Channel your experience into a certified profession through the SUCCESS Certified™ coaching program. We give you the framework, tools and authority to help others.

Personal Development | SUCCESS | What Achievers Read

<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-build-resilience/">Resilience</a> is the cornerstone of every successful professional’s journey. Yet, the prevailing notion of resilience as a skill to “bounce back” to a prior state of normalcy is misleading and stalls problem-solving.



It’s a paradox: The intention to bounce back sounds inspirational after a big client is lost, a key team member resigns or disaster strikes, but the premise fails to deliver. It’s impossible to reestablish the past. What was, no longer is. The situation is different; you are different. Looking to the past for benchmarks of success wastes the very resources needed to adapt to the present.



Understanding this is essential. Even so, there’s a deeper contradiction woven into the mainstream resilience narrative. We’ve been taught to think of resilience as a singular, one-size-fits-all skill to overcome a myriad of challenges. The truth is that stressors exist on a continuum; thus, it stands to reason that resilience must as well. By adding critical context to problems and respecting the multifaceted nature of resilience, it’s possible to navigate the complexities of life and business with less stress and more ease. To achieve this, I created a simple reframing tool called the <a href="https://allisongraham.com/triple-resilience/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Triple Resilience Model</a>.







<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-triple-resilience-model">The Triple Resilience Model</h2>



The Triple Resilience Model separates stressors into three categories: adversities to endure, obstacles to solve and tasks to do. Given this context, the framework introduces three distinct types of resilience to match each challenge with the right response.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Natural Resilience is the survival instinct within every person to withstand, adjust to and heal from major life upheavals.</li>



<li>Learned Resilience is a response to inevitable day-to-day issues. The skill is developed over time and strengthens with experience and mentorship. It’s the reason a seasoned pro is unfazed by the same issue that derails another person for days.</li>



<li>Strategic Resilience is an advanced skill to proactively prevent obstacles, eliminate repeating moments of angst and streamline systems to efficiently complete tasks.</li>
</ul>



At first glance, these appear similar, but their timing and purpose are vastly different. Learned Resilience is the real-time reaction to an issue, while Strategic Resilience prioritizes the liberation of resources today and for the future. Metaphorically, Learned Resilience is using a fire extinguisher to douse a fire. Strategic Resilience is replacing faulty wiring to prevent the fire from igniting in the first place.



Early in my resiliency journey, I didn’t appreciate the importance of this distinction. I, like many others, used the words adversities and obstacles interchangeably, but they are not equivalent. Each has unique characteristics.



I discovered this the hard way. In public, I was all smiles; behind the scenes, I was <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/9-things-to-do-when-youre-feeling-burned-out/">burned out</a>. Grief, health conditions, career changes and financial turmoil overwhelmed me as I tried to juggle my overcommitted schedule. Resilience was my beacon of hope, but my results were inconsistent. Sometimes, I was a resiliency rock star. Other times, I felt powerless. This variance perplexed me. To find answers, I captured each issue causing me stress on its own Post-it note.



It was the first time I saw my stressors as a collection of independent issues. Before this, my problems swirled in my mind like an ambiguous, tangled mess of stress. The issues ranged from devastating blows to irritating blips. How could the same approach to resilience be expected to resolve everything on the continuum? Something was amiss. I needed to reframe my perspective for clearer context. I asked myself which issues would be remembered in five days, five weeks or five years and sorted my stickies accordingly. 



That’s when the three categories of challenges emerged.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Adversities: life-altering situations with no solution. Examples include a critical health crisis, the death of a loved one or a <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/cope-after-natural-disaster/">natural disaster</a>. Life as you knew it is gone forever. Five years from now, you will remember what happened. Adversities must be endured.</li>



<li>Obstacles: problems with potential solutions. It’s tough to remember they happened five weeks later, but the lessons learned will contribute to future problem-solving prowess.</li>



<li>Tasks: actions to be done. When completed effectively, they free resources for other priorities.</li>
</ul>



As I stared at my collection of Post-it notes, I understood my frustration. It wasn’t a lack of overall resilience; it was a mismatch between effort, expectations and results. Without a system to properly frame problems, I failed to honor the role of resilience as a tool to either endure, react or optimize.



My biggest mistake was trying to fix unsolvable adversities. This fought against my Natural Resilience instincts. When it comes to life’s toughest losses, there are no shortcuts to bypass the gut-wrenching reality of <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/invisible-loss-unacknowledged-grief/">grief</a> and healing. Instead, the real priority is giving yourself the space and grace to let your body, mind and spirit do what they are designed to do as you grieve the past, heal your being and acclimate to an updated reality.



The Post-it piles also exposed the way I was inflating obstacles, making them feel like earth-shattering events. Obstacles aren’t shocking; they are part of reality. With objectivity, they can be solved, and then tasks are the way to implement solutions.



This led to my next realization: I was draining capacity unnecessarily by turning simple tasks into obstacles. Have you done this, too? Procrastinated on a project that felt daunting, but after completing it, you realized it was no big deal?



By clearly identifying the true nature of each challenge, resources were no longer wasted. Untangling the mess of stress made it easier to activate the right resilience tool at the right time.



Sure, my Learned Resilience kept me afloat, but the status quo was unsustainable. If you’re feeling that too, then I challenge you to be Strategically Resilient. Step away from the immediacy of the daily grind to reframe challenges, identify deeper solutions and implement systems that alleviate angst and free resources.



I hope you’ll join me in reframing resilience. Rather than seeing it as a tool to bounce back, shift your perspective to decide if the best way forward is to endure, react or optimize.

Growing up, <a href="https://www.karendwyer.com/">MS to Success founder Karen Dwyer</a> dreamed of someday being successful. Her childhood vision? Hitting the hair salon for a weekly professional blowout. Today, the Dublin-based <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/navigating-the-entrepreneur-roller-coaster/">entrepreneur</a> and chronic illness advocate gets her hair blown out twice a week.



And while Dwyer looks forward to her regular hair appointment, it’s nothing compared to the joy and fulfillment she’s experienced as a health coach on a mission to help people with multiple sclerosis take charge of their health—and change their lives in the process. MS is an unpredictable autoimmune disease that causes the breakdown of nerves’ protective covering; it impacts nearly 3 million people worldwide.







While Dwyer doesn’t have an MD, RN or a PT after her name, she offers something many health care professionals don’t: lived experience with multiple sclerosis and its physical, mental and emotional toll. Though her diagnosis in 2011 hardly felt like a gift, navigating lifestyle changes, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/get-your-mind-right-5-tips-for-untangling-your-cant-do-mindset/">mindset</a> shifts and daily challenges has become her greatest asset as a coach and founder.



When Dwyer learned that MS was responsible for the right-sided numbness she’d been experiencing, she had a 7-year-old, a brand-new baby and an inexplicable sense that everything was going to be OK. While she acknowledges it sounds strange, she was struck by an inner knowing that said, “You’re beating this.”



Though her instincts were right, there was no shortage of hurdles along the way. From optic neuritis to crushing fatigue, an episode of acute swelling in her brain and weekly injections of an immunosuppressant that forced her into bed for entire weekends, Dwyer struggled to handle her new diagnosis along with motherhood, a full-time marketing manager position and what she describes as a toxic relationship.



Within a few years, she’d withdrawn from most social activities, but when her illness forced her to step away from work, “I felt like I buried myself and my confidence 6 feet under,” she recalls. Things got worse when her partner left at Christmas about a decade ago.



Two weeks later, she attended a conference that would change her life. There, she was asked to reflect on what she was grateful for. Initially, she drew a blank. Until she realized she had not been responsible for herself and her own actions. Waking up to that reality, she describes, “was like a wet fish across the face.”



One year later, Dwyer’s energy had returned, she was off the immunosuppressants that gave her flu-like symptoms, and her doctor said her MS lesions had shrunk. Most importantly, she was finding joy and peace again. She remembers leaving the clinic that day and pausing to smell the flowers. Her doctor told her, “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.” 



While she made many lifestyle changes that year, including experimenting with diet and movement, she also shifted her attitude. Instead of “white-knuckling the whole thing” and feeling desperate for each new supplement or lifestyle change to work, she took a more relaxed approach, viewing each treatment as an experiment.



Over time, she learned that, along with subtle changes to her routines including eating, moving and even breathing differently, gratitude played a significant role in her health. “It does prime and rewire your brain,” she explains. Inspired, she published a gratitude journal in hopes of giving others the chance to benefit from a gratitude practice.



But that was just the beginning. Dwyer started spending hours on the phone with strangers seeking MS support and advice. While she’s adamant that “I don’t have a cure for MS,” Dwyer was always happy to share her story in hopes that others could learn from it. “Then, I would start waking up at 4 a.m. being like, ‘I forgot to tell her this!’”



Eventually, Dwyer quit her corporate job to coach full time. “It was a really exciting time, but I had no idea how to run a health business program online,” Dwyer admits. So while she was busy helping people find holistic, personalized ways to improve their health and quality of life, building relationships and garnering testimonials without a sustainable business plan, her bank account rapidly shrank.



Dywer wasn’t about to let finances stop her, though. “We exist to bridge the gap between the medical model and everyday life,” she says, and given the breadth of that gap, walking away was not an option. Instead, she did something completely novel—she asked for help. First, she got a loan from her mom. Next, she engaged a business mentor.



With support, Dwyer has grown her business exponentially. Today, she says her team includes more than a dozen practitioners, including a neurologist, a naturopath and a habit coach, just to name a few, as well as administrative staff. Her clients, who hail from 27 countries, are offered as many as a dozen virtual group coaching sessions each week, where they can access the strategies, community and hope they need to envision a brighter future.



Though it’s evolved over the years, Dwyer’s business has always been true to its mission: Changing lives by giving individuals like her the tools to take charge of their health, one person at a time.



What sets Dwyer apart is her multifaceted, holistic approach. “We meet people where they are at,” Dwyer says. “It’s not a cookie-cutter program. It’s not like you have to go vegan or do these crazy workouts or meditate for three hours a day,” she explains. “It’s like your neighbor next door putting their arms around you and saying, ‘I’ve got you, and we’re gonna work with what you’re doing right now,’” Dwyer says.



Instead of attempting to make sweeping changes overnight, the focus is on small, sustainable adjustments. Dwyer’s approach empowers clients to make the right daily “micro decisions” in order to change the mindset and habits that may be holding them back.



After all, it was a series of micro decisions, beginning with adopting an attitude of gratitude, that started Dwyer on the healing journey that evolved into a coaching business that’s changing lives worldwide.&nbsp;

Professional Growth | SUCCESS | What Achievers Read

Jordanne Lindo thought she did everything right. The recent Wesleyan College graduate earned strong grades, completed solid internships and started her job search early, applying for full-time positions since last November while still in school. She even submitted applications within minutes of seeing job postings go live on LinkedIn. Yet, after dozens of valiant attempts, she faced rejection after rejection.



“It felt like I was trying to throw anything at the wall and see what would stick,” says Lindo, who will now pursue a doctoral degree in global health equity at Meharry Medical College. Her experience reflects a broader crisis. According to a recently published report by Oxford Economics, <a href="https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-Educated-but-unemployed-a-rising-reality-for-college-grads.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unemployment for recent college graduates now exceeds the base unemployment rate</a> for the entire country.



This historic inversion highlights how dramatically the entry-level job market has shifted. The toxic combination of <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/us-retail-layoffs-career-strategies/">widespread layoffs</a>, artificial intelligence (AI) driven displacement and reduced hiring has created what career experts call a fundamentally broken system where traditional pathways to career launch no longer work. Even computer science degrees, long considered the golden ticket to long-term career success, have seen dramatic hiring freezes and widespread layoffs as <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/ai-workforce-reduction/">AI reshapes the workforce</a>. The situation is creating a perfect storm where entry-level candidates now compete against seasoned professionals for the few remaining positions.







Despite the pervasive doom and gloom, some career professionals believe it’s still possible to break through and launch a successful career. They propose that Gen Z students adopt three transformational strategies: leveraging non-traditional entry points like contract work and project-based roles to gain experience, building skills that demonstrate immediate value rather than long-term potential and creating personal visibility systems that cut through the noise of an oversaturated job applicant market.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-strategy-1-leverage-non-traditional-entry-points">Strategy 1: Leverage non-traditional entry points</h2>



My uncle said if you can’t get something with the direct approach, don’t stress. Every building has two doors. If the front door is locked, go kick in the back door. With the front door to landing their first jobs blocked, savvy job seekers must rely on alternative routes.



“The entry-level market today, as we know it, is broken,” says Patrice Williams Lindo, CEO of Career Nomad and workforce futurist who’s worked with several major corporations, including KPMG and Deloitte. “We’re asking 22- and 23-year-olds to have five years of experience, a master’s degree and of course, the patience of a saint just to land a job that probably doesn’t even pay your rent.”



Williams Lindo advocates for what she calls the “freelance-to-full-time funnel.” She recommends starting with <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/best-freelance-job-sites/">freelance platforms</a> like Upwork or other gig work platforms to try and land project-based or contract roles. These short-term positions serve as extended auditions where candidates can demonstrate their value and, ideally, convert temporary work into permanent employment. Unlike internships, where companies expect to provide training and tolerate learning curves, contract work positions you as a professional who can deliver results from day one.



The approach mirrors how many big-name consulting firms operate internally. Williams Lindo says that as full-time consultants move up the ladder, they are likely not being assigned projects to work on—they have to hunt for new projects on their own. That means you’re always selling yourself and your abilities to managers, directors and partners so they keep you in mind when new projects are about to kick off.



The key to success with this strategy is creating a clear value exchange from day one. Meet with your project lead early to establish project deliverables and professional expectations. Frame your conversation to show you’re committed to delivering exceptional results on the project. In return, you will appreciate being considered for any full-time opportunities that arise in the organization. Using this positioning helps ensure you can turn every contract into a potential career catalyst.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-strategy-2-build-skills-that-signal-immediate-value">Strategy 2: Build skills that signal immediate value</h2>



The bar for entry-level has been raised dramatically as <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/ai-training-for-graduates-2026/">AI reshapes the workforce</a>. While this creates unprecedented challenges, it also opens doors for those strategic enough to seize them. New graduates possess unique advantages that set them apart from previous generations. They are digital natives who intuitively understand new technology that intimidates older workers. Instead of relying on broad skills that merely signal potential, they can enter the workplace with specific technological capabilities that companies desperately need but struggle to find. Few middle-aged managers, directors and partners have the time or bandwidth to master niche AI platforms that can multiply their on-the-job performance times 10. The irony is stark: the same generation being <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/gen-z-blue-collar-careers/">displaced by AI</a> is uniquely positioned to help organizations use it effectively.



“No one told a 22-year-old college grad… that they would have to battle it out for an entry-level job role with the most advanced computational model that humanity has ever produced,” says Colin Rocker, a career coach and educator. The solution isn't to compete with AI, but to complement it and demonstrate skills that deliver immediate impact rather than promise future potential.



Based on current market trends, the most in-demand immediate-value skills span technical and human capabilities. On the technical side, companies are desperately seeking employees who can create, implement and manage AI workflows, build automated systems and translate complex data into actionable insights that deliver measurable results from day one.



Beyond technical skills, Rocker also notes that at this critical point in time, soft skills like storytelling and relationship-building remain irreplaceable differentiators. New grads can harness these uniquely human capabilities to solve technical and non-technical problems that demonstrate their value and position them as indispensable team members.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-strategy-3-create-visibility-systems-that-cut-through-the-noise">Strategy 3: Create visibility systems that cut through the noise</h2>



Most job boards like LinkedIn are oversaturated with applicants thanks to easy one-click applications. The situation has created an impossible noise-to-signal ratio, forcing job seekers to find new ways to increase visibility and build direct relationships with decision makers.



Harleny Vasquez, a Gen Z career coach and college speaker, acknowledges that for many Gen Zers, the thought of cold pitching themselves to employers can be intimidating, especially if they’re shy and introverted. “Allowing yourself to be seen could be as simple as, I’m going to put my photo on LinkedIn, I’m going to put a headline on LinkedIn and I’m going to put my jobs and my school. That’s allowing you to allow yourself to be seen,” she explains. “If that’s the first step, celebrate that. Give yourself some grace, see how that feels and then do the next step.”



Vazquez emphasizes that visibility doesn’t require becoming a content creator or influencer. “Your LinkedIn profile is another marketing tool,” she says. “Don’t worry about posting on there. First, start with optimizing your LinkedIn profile because recruiters are going to search you up. And you’d rather them search you up having a LinkedIn profile than finding you on TikTok or Instagram."



In recent years, we’ve seen that visibility has become the new currency. People have leveraged their visibility to launch new careers, raise business funding and even run for political office. If this strategy can work for entrepreneurs and politicians, it can work for you in your job search. The goal isn’t to become famous or infamous, but to be at the top of mind when the right opportunities arise.



The job market may be broken, but you’re not. Every crisis creates new pathways for those willing to embrace the challenge and do what doesn’t come easily. Take these strategies, adapt them and make them your own. The professionals who thrive in these turbulent times will create their own rules and solve problems as they go. What feels like surviving today is preparing you for leadership tomorrow.

Valentine’s Day Quotes to Share The Love

For years, I was the poster child for trying to achieve a perfect work-life balance. I juggled it all—work, family, personal time, you name it—and religiously followed every strategy in the book: time-blocking my day, making family time “nonnegotiable,” squeezing in early-morning workouts. And I took everyone’s well-intentioned advice to heart:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Give 100% at work!” Check!</li>



<li>“Be fully present with your kids!” On it!</li>



<li>“Weekly date nights are the key to a happy marriage!” Got it!</li>



<li>“Friends and family are everything!” Agree!</li>



<li>“Prioritize your health and wellness!” Will do!</li>
</ul>



The buzzy, meant-to-be-empowering phrases and sayings we hear all the time make it sound simple, even achievable. But the truth is so much more complicated.



While I was racing to be the “perfectly balanced” wife, mother, leader, employee, daughter, sister and friend, those around me would tell you I was falling short. Trying to go all-in on everything all the time is simply not sustainable. Not only that, but it’s unrealistic—and a recipe for disappointment and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/9-things-to-do-when-youre-feeling-burned-out/">burnout</a>.



That burnout forced me to change the way I was working and living. I needed to find a rhythm that worked for me, one with less clearly defined boundaries and more flexibility (which, for a type A personality like mine, can feel like a dirty word).&nbsp;



Making a change requires conscious, daily effort. I give myself <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-productive-self-talk-practices-for-working-through-failure/">positive self-talk</a>. I allow my <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/jenna-kutcher-goal-digger-podcast/">work-life balance</a> to be more fluid. And I give myself grace when I have to pivot.



I have missed the first day of school to attend meetings out of town. There are times when I am on a conference call while also driving the carpool. But I respect and accept that different seasons will demand different priorities and time from me. Some days require work to be more of my focus; other days allow more time for life.&nbsp;



This new rhythm has offered me what striving for perfect balance never could: harmony. And it sounds pretty good to me.&nbsp;



Until next time,



Amy Somerville

During this two-day event, SUCCESS will bolster and foster community for self-identified women to share insights and rewrite the narrative for the next generation of women’s leadership.

i-LEAD offers an experience beyond a typical conference. Attendees will engage in intentional and interactive networking sessions to build their inspiration and lift them into a community that carries them beyond the summit; a community where they gain practical solutions and a network of support to reach every area of their life.



"We couldn't be more excited about our upcoming i-LEAD SUCCESS® Virtual Summit, set to take place over two incredibly inspiring days," says&nbsp;SUCCESS&nbsp;magazine's editor-in-chief, Kerrie Lee Brown.
