A leadership teaching with Ki on why resilience is a learned skill rather than a fixed trait — and where you go to actually build it. He opens with the observation that traditional schooling trains us to get it right the first time, creating an almost neurological resistance to failure that works against the very skill life most demands. Resilience, he argues, is the capacity to bounce back from inevitable setbacks, and it only develops through exposure and repetition — not theory.
The session frames the embodied practice that follows as the real school for this skill: by staying in the discomfort of sustained movement, by working the edge and returning rather than collapsing or quitting, you are literally training your system to recover. You leave with a new understanding of resilience not as a personality trait but as a muscle built through conscious, repeated practice.
