About Resilience Coaching

  • Resilience coaching is a practical, strengths-based approach that helps employees of all levels build the mental, emotional, and behavioral skills needed to respond effectively to pressure, change, and competing demands. Through guided reflection, evidence-informed tools, and real-world application, clients learn to recognize unhelpful stress patterns, strengthen self-regulation, communicate with greater clarity, and make values-aligned choices—especially in high-stakes moments. Rather than “pushing through,” resilience coaching equips people to recover faster from setbacks, sustain healthy performance over time, and contribute to a workplace culture where individuals feel supported, capable, and engaged.

  • A resilience-based approach is adaptable across sectors because it focuses on universal human skills—such as stress regulation, mindset flexibility, healthy boundaries, communication, and recovery practices—that influence how people perform in any role. Whether your organization operates in healthcare, manufacturing, finance, education, public service, or technology, the coaching is tailored to your context by aligning tools and practice scenarios to the pressures your teams face (e.g., shift work and fatigue, high-stakes client demands, psychological safety, change fatigue, conflict, or burnout risk). This customization makes resilience coaching relevant to sector-specific challenges while maintaining a consistent evidence-informed foundation that strengthens wellbeing, engagement, and sustainable performance.

  • Fuelling 22’s sector-specific Continuing Education virtual modules can be tailored to meet the realities of any organization—including industry requirements, role-specific stressors, hybrid or shift-based schedules, and existing wellness or leadership initiatives. This flexible, modular design makes it easy to deliver consistent core resilience skills while customizing examples, scenarios, and language to your workforce, ensuring the learning is relevant, practical, and immediately applicable.

  • In a period of heightened uncertainty and tighter budgets, organizations can no longer afford to overlook the people systems that sustain performance. Prioritizing employee resilience is a practical business decision: resilient employees adapt faster, collaborate better under pressure, and recover more quickly from disruption—reducing the drag of burnout, turnover, and stalled execution. When resilience is built deliberately at the individual and team level, it strengthens the company’s overall resilience by improving change capacity, decision-making, and continuity during peak demand, helping the organization stay steady, responsive, and competitive when every cent matters.

  • Importantly, building individual resilience delivers benefits that extend well beyond mental health. As people strengthen core resilience skills—like stress regulation, recovery, and sustainable habits—they often notice improvements in energy, sleep quality, and overall physical wellbeing, along with greater confidence, steadier moods, and stronger relationships at work and at home. Over time, this translates into people who feel more capable and satisfied, bring more of their best selves to the workplace, and are better able to handle peak periods without sacrificing their health.

Meet the Founder!

A Certified Resilience Coach since 2021 with the Leadership Wellness Group, Char brings a wealth of personal experience from motherhood to her 30 years in law enforcement and being a firefighter’s wife. From her front-line roles to management, Char has observed some of life’s biggest stressors layered with today’s complexities and the way individual’s respond. Trained at the Women’s Leadership Institute, and a University of Ottawa graduate in criminology and psychology, Char prioritizes people. Investing in an individual’s resilience fuels the human capacity to adapt and overcome life’s challenges, struggles, adversities, and change in a healthy and productive manner, allowing the individual to bounce forward to be better than they ever were before.

As the American Psychological Association states: “Resilience isn’t a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviors, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.” Inspired by the fire service, Char founded Fuelling 22 Resiliency Coaching. Char provides organizational, group, and one-on-one coaching to guide and support individuals in adopting behaviors, thoughts, and actions that are common sense but are not always common practice to grow organizational and individual resilience. It is about getting back to basics and focusing on the individual to institute habits that are proven through current neuroscience to increase resilience. Topics explored include sleep, healthy eating, movement, mindfulness, positivity, connection, and restoration.

Additionally, with 78% of Canadian employees saying in 2023 (Stats Canada) that they have felt burnout as a result of their careers, Char can bring organizational awareness to the burnout epidemic and strives to combat it through resiliency building and instilling leadership skills in managers and employees.

Char’s multitude of experiences and training bring a unique, real-world perspective on chaos, overwhelm, stress and resilience.
