Restoring Resilience Lab
Give your team the tools and experience to sustain energy and focus.
A practical course and toolkit for leading through change and challenge
Our lives have been challenged by multiple changes, uncertainty, and transition. The pandemic continues, our uncertainty and anxiety is taking on new layers, and we need to give ourselves and our teams a break.
Personal and team resilience matters more than ever.
It’s time to give your team the tools to:
- Refresh their values and recalibrate
- Build a more resilient workplace culture
- Navigate through ongoing change and challenge
- Restore their energy to respond creatively to new challenges
- Release burnout patterns-maintain mental and physical balance
- Strengthen supportive relationships
These times require new tools, courage, and a strong team culture.
Through my work with a broad range of organizations and industries I have identified five practices that people use to regain and sustain their resilience. I’ve distilled them into a simple research-based framework called the Resilience Canvas™.
Sustained resiliency requires more than a single solution or practice. The Resilience Canvas™ integrates multiple disciplines into an easy to apply navigation tool.
COHERENCE: Gain Fresh perspective, clarify values, and renew purpose
CONTROL: Take focused action, define priorities, release ceaseless striving
CENTERED CAPACITY: Create calm and balance in the mind and body
CHALLENGE: Stretch your limits, take risks, discover your innovative edge
CONNECTION: Engage and develop authentic friendships, increase social capital
Resilience Lab Structure
Each week of the Resilience Lab offers a live interactive format rich with tools, frameworks, exercises and connected conversations, rooted in an elegantly simple research based model of resilience.
These sessions provide the structure, community and momentum to apply these tools to your own work and life and then to your leadership challenges and opportunities.
The lab provides “seed capital” for navigating change and transitions as a leader in this complex environment of the future.

Cynthia Scott and Eric Cetnarski
My 40-year career has been devoted to helping values driven leaders identify, simplify, and apply a set of personal and leadership capacities for sustaining energy and momentum during change and transition. I’ve packed my experience into a time-tested and research validated set of approaches in the Restoring Resilience Lab, so you can refresh, reset, and renew yourself, your team, organization, or community with a time-tested model of the five most important personal and leadership capacities to sustain performance and engagement during challenging change. These practices will be published as Sustaining Resilience: Purpose, Vision and Action in Spring 2022.
I’m excited to work with Eric Cetnarski, MBA who will bring his seasoned insights from extensive leadership, teaching, and formal mindfulness training. He’s helped organizations like Ideo, McKesson, Hult International School of Business, and Presidio Graduate School bring new energy and direction to their teams.
Together we will bring our candid perspectives, humorous spark, and commitment to restoring you and your teams energy and resilience.
Testimonials
Leaders at all levels have found valuable insights and tools for their leadership and personal development.
I moved from what I called frantic inertia into an easier flow. I have a new acceptance of the ups and downs of my path.
These conversations helped me get a new perspective on my current situation, identify the growth opportunities in my current job and how to leverage my network with clear expectations of them and myself. I feel more grounded and focused.
For me, the shift is, has gone from “not sure how”, or if I want to work for an organization ever again, to realizing I still have something to contribute. I’ve put that retirement idea on hold, I’m not quite done yet.
