The 7 C's of Resilience

Hey there,

This Week's Deep Dive​

As part of the Procurement Soft Skills Mastery course we had a powerful workshop on Resilience the other week. It generated so much discussion.

*Next enrolment for this brand new program opens in August btw, if you want to be first to hear when enrolment opens, get yourself on the waitlist (link at the bottom of this e-mail).

It’s incredible how little Procurement teams talk about Resilience, leaders should be more open about it too.

Come to think of it, I only really learned to enjoy Procurement once I’d built a full understanding of how to build my own resilience 5 years ago.

I did this by developing my understanding of the 7 C’s that underpin Resilience.

In this week’s deep dive I break down the 7 C’s

• What they are

• How these are applicable to Procurement

• How understanding the & C’s makes a difference

And yes, this is just a tiny snippet of what we cover on the course.

I’m building a cohort of Procurement Soft Skills Masters who will have developed the skills to fast track their career!
