Our story
A story inspired by real resilience
‘I feel alone.’ ‘I’m not valued.’ ‘We don’t work as a team.’
After hearing the same frustrations from workplace to workplace for years on end, we set out to find a solution – and make a change.
Inspiration from around the world
Did you know that hundreds of age-old tribes can be still found scattered around the world? And did you know that many have adapted to Western influences for survival? Centuries on, these tribes have remained cohesive – by being open and flexible to change.
After learning about these inspiring people and communities, we had one burning question:
What are the Universal practices they share that make them so resilient?
After learning about these inspiring people and communities, we had one burning question:
What are the Universal practices they share that make them so resilient?
Revealing their hidden secrets
After extensive research, we found that certain elements drive resilience in these communities.
In particular, we found that rituals such as singing and dancing create a sense of cohesion and belonging. And we discovered that sharing skills and experiences gives people purpose – while building trust and safety.
With these insights, we saw an opportunity to apply these elements of resilience to the corporate world.
Embracing individuality creates unity
Another illuminating discovery was the extent to which tribes embrace ‘different’.
As melting pots of skills, experiences, personalities and perspectives, tribes encourage people to flourish as individuals. This is what builds their strong foundation and binds teams together.
Ultimately, no two people are the same. And that’s something that should be celebrated every day – to build a successful team.
Transforming the corporate world – one team at a time
Fast-paced and ever-changing, today’s corporate world makes it harder for us to connect with people in an authentic, personal way.
Thankfully however, we still possess many tribal instincts from our ancestors that link resilience to belonging. We simply need to learn how to access and act on these instincts – despite the individualistic ways of today.
By bringing what we’ve learnt about tribes into the workplace, we believe we can create happier teams and more cohesive cultures overall. That’s why Resilience Tribe was born.
