How much of a tight-rope are you walking?
The HardiSurvey estimates how well your coping resources help you to resist and protect you against the negative effects of the stressful changes in your life.
You learn through its composite Performance Effectiveness Index how much of a tight rope you are walking because of your stress, and how much of a net your coping skills provide to buffer you against stress’ negative effects.
By comparing the current load of stress you are under right now to the strength of your coping skills, you learn:
- How much of a buffer your coping resources provide to you, so you can work and play fully and enjoy life in the meantime;
- How capable you are at turning stressful changes into opportunities for personal and professional development.
- About your capacity for personal and professional renewal in changing times, and
- About your ability to get the most out of stressful changes in learning, quality of life, and personal meaning that strengthens your performance, leadership, and health.
