SoWhoCaresAnyway E20 The Silent Strength of Resilient Teams

Are you ready to consider what resilience means and how to develop resilient teams?

In this episode, I am delighted to be joined by Grace Cook, a Person-Centred Practice Facilitator at the Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), to explore how Resilience-Based Clinical Supervision (RBCS) shapes workforce wellbeing, recruitment, and person-centred care.

Grace shares how she worked with Professor Gemma Stacey during her PhD research, which led to the development of RBCS, offering structured reflection for nursing professionals.

This episode links closely to previous discussions with Rebecca Myers, exploring the cost of emotional labour, and Adam Lent, discussing the #DoWith approach.

Together, we explore:

• The reality of resilience, why the ‘keep calm and carry on’ rhetoric isn’t the full picture.
• How structured reflection strengthens teams, helping staff feel valued, supported, and empowered.
• Understanding emotional regulation systems, how threat, drive, and soothing responses impact workplace culture.
• The power of positive reframing, shifting perspectives to improve care and team dynamics.
• Compassionate flow, how the way staff are treated influences the care they provide.
• Why person-centred care reduces service demand—meeting real needs rather than cycling through appointments.

This episode is about more than resilience—it’s about creating cultures where professionals thrive, teams grow stronger, and care becomes truly person-centred with a #DoWith approach.
