𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐭, 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐: 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

In the heart of a dry canyon on Tenerife, I stood before a sight of true endurance. The Balo tree (Plocama pendula) had driven its courageous roots deep into the stone seeking for nutrients. It was a striking reminder that even in the most harsh conditions, life finds a way to thrive.

Resilience isn’t about avoiding droughts — it’s about having roots deep enough to find water anyway.

In leadership and in life, we face our own dry seasons — moments when inspiration vanishes, uncertainty rises, and progress slows down. What sustains us isn’t constant growth, but quiet strength built through values - a strong culture, strong relationships - a united team, and a clear purpose.

Just as the Balo tree thrives because of what’s unseen — its roots — so do we. A resilient foundation allows us to adapt, recover, and grow stronger. It’s an invitation to invest in what nourishes us beneath the surface.
