Guest Introduction

And hello everybody. Welcome back to The Corvus Effect. This is Scott with my TLDL. Too long didn't listen. Summary from my conversation with Carré Le Page, founder of the Resilient Minds Movement and Global Marketing Leader turned resilience trainer from Summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. While severely ill to leading teams across five continents.

Carre brings a unique perspective on building mental resilience in our increasingly stressful professional world. He has a practical approach to mental health and his health over everything. Philosophy offers some really powerful tools and insights to anyone looking to build sustainable success.

Without sacrificing their wellbeing. So let's dive into some of the key takeaways from my conversation with him.

Perspective can either be a Passport or a Prison

First, Carre's foundational insight is that perspective can either be a passport. Or a prison, depending on how you choose to view your circumstance. And this wisdom was forged through his global experience and was crystallized during his Mount Kilimanjaro summit where he and his group were four hours behind pretty much everyone else due to illness, making them the last people on the mountain.

And as he reflected on the summit photo that he took. He said, what you can't see is just an incredible amount of pain, both physical and emotional pain because it had become a real struggle, but this became a turning point in his life and he uses it as fuel whenever facing difficult challenges. We here at the Corvus Effect.

We love to take a look at the wisdom that the past gives us, but it should not be our prison. It should be that which we learn from to apply towards the bright future that we are looking for.

Mental Health Crisis in Creative Professionals

Secondly. Correa has identified a critical mental health crisis that really affects creative professionals. He said two thirds of creative professionals report some sort of burnout each year, and it's really about the blurring between.

Business and art and trying to make everything work, and that makes people particularly vulnerable when their efforts are dismissed with feedback such as, I just don't like it without any thoughtful reasoning. I. And it creates a cycle where people feel already stretched and having to redo work and redo work and redo work, and driving towards an unhealthy state of perfectionism and anxiety.

This is something that we here in The Corvus Effect. Definitely take a lot of value to, in terms of the concept of progress over perfection. Yes. Constructive contri is important. It helps us grow. It helps us deliver better quality product. It helps us deliver better customer experiences, no doubt. But there is a point where.

We are not being productive if we're just saying, I don't like it, and not giving any sort of feedback in terms of what could be improved. So the use of constructive critique is definitely a hallmark of the corvus philosophy.

Carré's Practical Framework: 3 Pillars to Resilience

Finally, Carre's practical framework. Centering around the three pillars to resilience definitely rings true with us.

The ability to bounce forward. Learning from rejection and failure, the ability to handle hard, better, accepting that life is difficult and building our capacity to handle it, and the ability to shift to succeed, developing, adaptability and coachability for constant change. And what makes this really powerful is that through 10 minutes of a morning routine, that can include.

Meditation, stretching, physical exercise, things to develop the neuroplasticity in our brains, that it allows us to bring these mantras quickly into our lives, and that doesn't just help us in the professional world. As Cara said, it helps us in the personal world. He's certainly snappier with his kids.

It's just one of these things where the day starts a heck of a lot better for him, and so that's why a big focus on his mantra, health over everything, that's not just theory, it's a lived practice and something that we as proponents of the Corps' philosophy need to put into our lives. The lived. Practice of bringing resilience to the forefront in all parts of our live.
