Resilience is our ability to overcome challenges and bounce back from adversity. When we face change, uncertainty or stress, resilience enables us to deal with negative emotions. It involves adaptation and can be developed through our behaviours, thoughts and actions.
In the first episode of Season 2, we discuss what resilience is, our own experiences and strategies that you can use to build resilience in your own lives.

Self Leadership is holding yourself to a standard and doing the things you say you would do. It is an act of integrity by doing the things that we said we would do. It is about leading yourself toward the person you want to become.
In this episode, we break down what self leadership means to us, and how we can cultivate this in our day-to-day lives. Enjoy!

Energy is our capacity to do work. It is what enables us to show up in our relationships, training, work and life in general. Having an understanding of what our energy demands are, as well as knowing where we can generate energy, allows us to live the life we want to live.
In this episode of the Virtus Podcast, we talk about what energy is, inflows and outflows, how boundaries can help us generate energy, and what practices we can implement.
Enjoy!

We've spoken before about the power of community. A group of people, supporting you to achieve your goals, whilst allowing you to express yourself as an individual.

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - George Bernard Shaw
Communication is the key to building successful relationships, thriving in life and leading your tribe. If there's one thing that you can focus on to improve the quality of relationships at home, school, work or society, learn how to communicate more effectively.
As Lachie says, make communication your superpower!
In this episode, we explore the challenges that we face in communication today, how learning your love language can lead to better relationships and how communication is crucial to building trust in our role as coaches.

In the final episode of Season 2, the boys review the last six months.
It has been a challenging time, yet upon reflection, there are many silver linings. We are coming out the other side with a little more gratitude, a little more perspective and a whole lot of excitement for what's coming next.
If you haven't already, check out the other nine episodes from Season 2. It's been wonderful and enlightening ride.
Cheers to you all.
