The one constant thing business owners can count on is change, something the last three years have clearly shown.
But as business leaders continue to navigate in a changing economy shaped in the aftermath of the pandemic, many have not taken a moment to appreciate how resilient they’ve become.
“A lot of people haven’t been able to validate how many changes they’ve had to make doing business, and the transitioning and pivoting,” says Tracy Valko, award-winning mortgage broker and owner of Valko Financial Ltd. “They haven’t been able to look at their business, their goals and what they value in life and take the time to realize how resilient they’ve been.”
Tracy says in particularly, women business leaders are less likely to appreciate themselves and what’ve they been through and hopes to help rectify that by leading an informative and interactive workshop at our Women Leadership Collective Breakfast Series: Resilient Mindset later this month at Langdon Hall.
“I still see so many women spending time second guessing their skill sets,” she says, noting men seem to have more resiliency and forgiveness for themselves when it comes to pivoting in business. “Women spend more time judging themselves, thinking ‘maybe I shouldn’t speak up because someone’s going to say something’. I think in this world, especially now, women have to stand their ground and come together to support each other.”
At our Women Leadership Collective event Tracy will provide strategies for women to become more resilient by offering them a look inside what she refers to as her ‘resilient toolbox’ and share personal stories of what she has gone through creating a successful business over the course of the last 25 years. Besides being named one of Canada’s top individual brokers, she is also a published author and motivational speaker.
“I will provide a lot of different affirmations of ways to look at resiliency,” says Tracy, referring to her presentation. “A lot of people just don’t take the time to appreciate how far they’ve come and be able to pivot very quickly in an ever-changing world.”

Tips about a resilient mindset
Embracing Change and Uncertainty A resilient mindset begins with the willingness to embrace change and uncertainty.
Learning from Failure Failure is a common part of life, and a resilient mindset allows us to see failure as a valuable teacher.
Cultivating a Positive Mindset Resilient people focus on the positive aspects of a situation and avoid dwelling on the negative.
Building Strong Social Connections Resilience is not a solitary endeavor. Building and maintaining strong social connections is a crucial aspect of a resilient mindset.
Setting Realistic Goals While having big dreams is important, setting smaller, attainable milestones helps build confidence and motivation.
Practicing Self-Care Resilient individuals recognize the importance of taking care of their physical and mental well-being.
Adaptability Those with resilience are not rigid in their thinking and are open to new ideas and solutions. They can adjust their plans as circumstances change and are willing to try different approaches to achieve their goals.
Developing Problem-Solving Skills Resilient individuals are excellent problem solvers. They break down complex issues into manageable steps and work through them systematically.
Seeking Support and Seeking Help - Resilient individuals are not afraid to seek support and help when they need it.
Maintaining Perspective In the face of adversity, resilient individuals remind themselves of the bigger picture. They recognize that the current challenge is just a chapter in their life's story and that it will pass, making way for new opportunities and growth. |
