How to Stay Resilient When Agency Life Feels Uncertain, with James Elliott
October 28, 2026
Welcome to episode 175. This episode is a timely one if you’re feeling uncertain or anxious about change and you’re looking for some practical advice and steps to strengthen your resilience.
I'm chatting with James Elliott MSc, former airborne forces, Master of Science in war and psychiatry, best selling author, and Founder of the Think Yourself Resilient Methodology.
We cover:
- what’s going on in your brain when you feel threatened at work
- why a rude comment from your boss can feel so personal
- and how to move on from a mistake.
We also talk about why resting is sometimes the most resilient thing you can do. James shares some really practical advice on two questions to ask yourself when you’re anxious about the future.
I’ve heard James' story twice and it moved me just as much the second time. For someone who’s been through so much, he talks about resilience as hope.

How agency owners can work with me:
If account growth feels inconsistent, I’m running Account Growth Diagnostic sessions this autumn to find out what’s working and unpick what isn’t before you turn to team training. Details are on my website: https://www.accountmanagementskills.com/account-growth-strategy
