It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day work. It can become so routine that we forget what we’re working towards and why we’re working in the first place.
As a result, we may feel stuck or depressed at times. We might feel like we’re not progressing toward our goals or that something is missing from our lives. This can make us feel disengaged from our jobs, leading to burnout and even quitting altogether!
But there is hope! You can use your resilience skills to improve your work-life balance.
Are you unclear on what you want for yourself? Worried about losing your sense of ‘self’?
In this LinkedIn Live episode, Investing in Women Founder Elizabeth Willetts is joined by the inspiring Life Coach Oriel Camp, who will teach you how to develop resilience and provide the tools you need to navigate life’s ups and downs. Oriel will discuss what resilience is (and isn’t) and why learning to be resilient will transform your work/life balance.
If you (like us) have a to-do list longer than your arm that never seems to go down, this webinar is for you! Oriel helps parents juggle family and work to achieve their sense of balance and get more out of life! She challenges, supports, and empowers them to feel happy, healthy, and fulfilled in both their work and personal lives.

Notable Quotes
- Resilience underpins everything we do, both on the homefront – with our families, personally, and at work. It’s just such a fundamental life skill to have.
- We all have a degree of resilience, whether we recognise that in ourselves or not.
- People might naturally lean towards being resilient, but it’s not something we’re born with. It’s something that we develop. It’s a skill.
- Resilience allows you to regulate your emotions and respond rather than react.
- If you’re not in a good place, physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, then you’re not going to be in the best place to look after anyone.
- Resilience isn’t just for crises – job loss, divorce, illness, or whatever. It’s for everyday life.
- The pressures of social media are so significant, and we’re all very well aware of those. But it’s about having your core, having your own self, knowing what’s important to you, and not feeling that you have to impersonate anybody else.
- If everything were exactly as you wanted it to be holistic across your life, you know, across all the priority areas in your life? What would you be doing? Or what would you be enjoying?
- It’s not about success and failure. It’s about learning, and it’s about mastery, and we continually evolve.
