Five Essential Strategies to Build Up Resilience with Coach Craig Archibald

Today's special guest Craig Archibald, author of The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline, and Business, says there are 5-simple yet powerful strategies that are vital to handling a crisis.

1. Admit failure
2. Get excited about a setback
3. Fail fast and move on
4. Practice risk management
5. Rebound with confidence

To quote Craig, " I live and work in the crisis capital of the world: Hollywood, where people's fortunes can turn on a dime. Early on in my own career as an actor, I experienced a heartbreaking setback that taught me one of the most important lessons of my life; no matter how well you're doing, a crisis will happen. So best to make a plan for dealing with it."

Failure is a learning experience and it often provides invaluable lessons that you can take with you through the rest of your life. Being afraid of failure stope you from growing and can block the creativity and natural instincts that enable you to perform at your best. And surprisingly to some, when you give yourself the freedom to mess something up, you are far less likely to do so.
