How well do you handle a work-related crisis? This week, I met with Tim Reitsma, general manager and podcast host at People Managing People, to discuss how to move through crises (personal and company-wide) and return to a pre-crisis state. He gave some ideas on how individuals and businesses alike can build the resilience needed to make it through tough times. Tim’s simple formula is all about the 3 Rs: reflecting, reframing, and reaching out.
Tim and I talked about:
- Understanding how challenges affect everybody differently
- How to view resilience from both a personal and a business standpoint
- How the 3 Rs can help when things get hard
- The importance of leaders reaching out to struggling team members
- What HR pros and business owners can do to develop their own resilience
- Potential threats to the 3 Rs framework

Look at the world around us. We know that there's a pandemic that's still going on. We know there's wars in this world. We know that there's inflation, which is just out of control. We know that there's just so much going on and it affects us all differently. It's so important that . . . if we're going through [a] crisis, we have a framework in order to help us navigate that crisis.”

So often, [we just see] the mechanics of the day, the mechanics of the week. . . . We all say we're fast moving and fast paced. But if we're too fast, who gets left behind?”

It's part of our role as a leader to guide and coach and grow our teams, and inspire, but also to encourage people to take the driver's seat in [their] career.”

It's so important to be able to reach out to people who we trust and who are there to maybe challenge our perception, challenge our beliefs.”

Resilience isn't something that just happens overnight. . . . We have to be willing to build it.”
