Erez Avramov: Changing the Resiliency Conversation
Deeply driven to explore human potential, Avramov has uncovered the inner workings of resiliency and is the founder of Life Rebuilder Academy. He shares his methods with his clients and audiences so others can harness the power of adversity and transform their lives as well.
Avramov changes the conversation from “why did this happen?” to “how can I use it to transform my life?” Avramov was a recent guest on the Life & Limb podcast hosted by thrive publisher Jeff Tiessen and what follows are some highlights from that interview.
EREZ: When somebody else describes it, it’s almost a scene from a movie or a book or something. And because I’m on the other side of these particular events, I think I’m able today to share more of my perspective in retrospect versus when I was immersed in those traumatic events. Going through a traumatic event, be it with our health or a relationship or even financial, it doesn’t matter. It shakes up our life in a drastic manner. There is a process we have to go through. Our level of preparation and support will dictate the outcome. I was introduced to the “muscle of resilience” from a very young age. I grew up in a country, Israel, that is very volatile by nature. I left almost 28 years ago. I am programmed to push my human boundaries and go beyond them. Since I was 15 years old, I went on solo adventures in the amazing deserts of Israel. I served in an elite commando unit in the Israeli Air Force where we were trained to ignore feelings of fear and danger and go where no one will dare. This is a human-based approach to how we would interact in life. It was the unpredictability of life and understanding that sometimes even what we figure to be our path or plan, life has a very different plan.
