Philadelphia, PA – Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal is the #1 international expert on resilience in both leadership and life.

Dr. Taryn Marie first became interested in resilience over a decade and half ago when she was completing her pre- and post-doctoral fellowship in neuropsychology, and she wanted to understand why some of her patients with neurological injury, brain injury and spinal cord injury recovered more of their faculties than other patients during their rehabilitation. Today, she applies her research on resilience more broadly, and she serves as an executive coach, keynote speaker, and the founder and Chief Resilience Officer of the Resilience Leadership Institute (RLI).

“Resilience Leadership is about supporting people in recognizing their worth and value, believing in themselves, appreciating their inherent strengths, recognizing their skills and talents, and being more resilient in order to reach their full potential,” says Dr. Taryn Marie. “When we are operating from a place of full potential, we have the greatest capacity to positively impact our world.”

Prior to launching Resilience Leadership Institute, Dr. Taryn Marie headed Executive Leadership Development and Talent Strategy at Nike and Global Leadership Development at Cigna.

Dr. Taryn Marie is the author of Flourish or Fold: The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People, based on a decade and a half of her original research.
