Resilient Leader Assessment
How Resilient Are You?
Take your free self-assessment and find out.
In the chaos of 2020, “resilience” became the word on everyone’s lips. Companies scrambled to teach it, employees tried to summon it, and leaders were left wondering what it actually meant — and how to build it.
Through years of research, coaching, and clinical work, I uncovered something powerful: resilience isn’t just a personality trait or a buzzword. It’s a skillset. And it can be measured, strengthened, and strategically developed.
That’s where COPES comes in.
COPES stands for Conscientiousness, OPtimism, Emotional Endurance, Social Relationships
Conscientiousness
Remain highly focused on being responsible, organized and goal-directed
Optimism
Maintain a positive outlook and the expectation of favorable outcome in life
Emotional Endurance
Manage intense emotional stress without negative outcomes.
Social Relationships
Forge deep, supportive connections with diverse groups of people
These are the four dimensions of personal resilience — the traits that help people adapt, lead, and thrive under pressure. They’re not fixed qualities; they’re learnable, buildable, and transformative.
This free assessment gives you personalized insight into where you already shine — and where you can grow stronger. It’s short, science-based, and designed to spark real growth. Whether you’re a leader, a teammate, or someone just trying to get through a tough season, you’ll walk away with clarity and direction.
