A peak-performance psychologist and coach on the simple steps anybody can take to unlock your full potential and achieve your best with calm and control
We assume that heroes are wired differently from the rest of us. They overcome fear, doubt and pain to thrive under the most challenging conditions. But the only difference between them and us is resilience - the ability to dig deep and be curious enough to explore life at the edge of possibility.
In this practical guide to building and sustaining your own resilience, peak-performance psychologist Dr Alia Bojilova draws on her work with the SAS, Olympic athletes, contemporary leaders and successful entrepreneurs to help you unlock your potential in everyday life.
Guiding readers through a four-step process - to develop clearer Awareness, deeper Belonging, broader Curiosity, and stronger Drive - The Resilience Toolkit is a proven playbook to embracing the unknown with greater confidence. Free yourself from fear, understand your demons and drivers, re-anchor your purpose and recover faster from setbacks.
Resilience is not a trait or a given, but the result of a series of small decisions on how you engage with each moment. The real measure is whether you choose to discover what you're capable of. So: will you
Dr Alia Bojilova is a registered psychologist with a focus on resilience. She grew up in Eastern Europe during some of the most tumultuous times in recent history before immigrating to New Zealand at age 17. During her service with the NZDF, she worked as Lead Psychologist and Officer with the SAS.

She has a PhD from the University of Waikato, identifying the link between curiosity and resilience in the Special Forces. Since leaving the military Alia has served as coach and advisor to leaders and teams, globally and in New Zealand, and across a wide range of sectors including government, venture capital, peak performance sports, corporate services, creative industries, and more.
