How Your Resilience is Trying to Kill You | Jenny Susser | TEDxGainesville

These days, our cultural relationship to resilience is akin to idol-worship: the more resilient you are, the more successful you will be, so be more resilient! But after three decades in the sport and corporate worlds of high performance, Clinical Sport Psychologist Jenny Susser has a different take. It is not our resilience that forms the foundation for performance, it is our personal energy, more specifically, how we replenish the energy we spend. In this talk, she shares how energy works, making the obvious accessible because when you replace and restore the energy you spend, all kinds of yummy emotions, behaviors, and performances become available.
Jenny Susser is an expert in human performance, emphasizing “human,” the part we often lose sight of in our quest for success.
Sport Psychologist, teacher, pusher of all-things performance, in-your-corner specialist. A recovering resilience-a-holic, understanding the need for more than just a bounce back led to discovering the potential of replenishing personal energy to get the mind and body right. While the highlight of an All-American swimming career was NOT making the Olympic Team, it placed her firmly on a path of curiosity, passion, and perhaps obsession toward unlocking the code to high performance. Dr. Jenny’s philosophy is as eclectic as her methods, reflected in a wide range of tools combining heart, science, and performance to help others find the personal power they seek. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
