The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is the most comprehensive, independently validated resilience assessment available to date. 
Not only does it integrate the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology, it is the only resilience assessment that does not only measure the status quo but also provides the granularity that allows practitioners to build targeted transformative coaching journeys.
The PRI takes the form of an online self-assessment with 64 questions that takes approximately 10-15 min to complete. It provides actionable insights across 12 subdomains, each representing a distinct construct that can be improved by targeted practice and coaching. 
Developed with expert guidance from experienced neuroscientists, psychologists, executive coaches and mental health professionals, the PRI also passed independent validation by a renown psychometric expert.

► Are you interested in getting certified to use the PRI with your clients?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The PRI certification program comprises both self-learning content and interactive sessions designed to help you understand, work with and effectively debrief the Personal Resilience Indicator. Depending on your pace, certification takes between 2-6 weeks to complete. 

During the certification program, you will work directly with the creators of the PRI to
○ learn the neuro-psychobiological foundations of the PRI
○ understand the psychometric properties of the PRI 
○ learn how to engage your clients on the topic of resilience with a holistic, playful metaphor
○ gain first-hand experience in debriefing the PRI with clients

Prior practical experience as a trained coach, therapist or mental health professional of at least one year or 100+ billed hours of coaching is a prerequisite for attending certification.

Researching the spliceosome in the group of Prof. Dr. Reinhard Lührmann. The spliceosome is a complex molecular machine involved in determining which proteins are made by our cells. It trims and joins the RNA copy of a gene, so that it can serve as a blueprint for the manufacturing of the respective protein.

► My role in this field of research
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
For my PhD thesis, I developed an in vitro system to study the composition and the shape of this molecular machine at different stages of the splicing process in the fruit fly. By comparing the results of my experiments, to the research done with yeast and human cells, this work provided important insights into the evolutionary origin of these machines.

Spot on Jason Cooper.

Those quiet, committed reps are often the ones that build the deepest resilience.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #resilience #selfdiscipline

Love this Geraldine Spurway.

So often the courage to begin is what sets everything else in motion.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #courage #decisionmaking

Ami Khan, this is the foundation of self-leadership.

The moment we realise our response is our power, everything changes.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #responsibility #emotionalregulation

This hits deep Oge Okosieme.

Real leadership starts when we integrate the body into how we show up and decide.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #embodiment

Completely agree Briony Lawton.

Burnout isn’t a failure, it’s a call to realign with what truly matters.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #burnout #nervoussystem

Such a timely reminder from Gemma Carter-Morris.

When we measure our worth by how much we push through, we risk missing the deeper cost. Your best shouldn’t cost you your health.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #burnout #selfcare

You’re reminding us to see what’s already within, Ashok Narayanan.

That kind of power doesn’t need proving - it needs recognising.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #selfbelief #innerstrength

Right on Negar Farah.

Letting go of outdated success templates is one of the most liberating parts of personal growth.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #selfleadership #growth

Love this quiet nudge from Ellie Lloyd-Jones.

It’s not about grand gestures - it’s about small moments that bring you back to balance.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #balance #reflection

So well said Esther van Hout.

Many of us are realising that slowing down is often the missing piece in sustainable success.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #stressreduction #worklifebalance

Such a resonant reminder Charlotte Ashley-Roberts.

Groundedness helps us reconnect with our deeper sense of safety and clarity.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #trauma #emotionalregulation

A beautiful truth David Brown.

The strength found in self-acceptance is what allows lasting transformation.

#mindmatters #personalresilienceindicator #selfcompassion

Fully agree Rachel Stockey.

Well-being isn’t a reward at the end of the week, it’s something we can design into how we work every day.

Clara Rose Consultancy Ltd

When the need arises to recruit into your legal practice it can be challenging to know where to start to find the ‘right’ person. And when you want a new role for yourself it can be hard to find the time to invest in job searches and researching firms when you are already busy with your day-to-day case load and team expectations. 

I understand both sides of the development of your team through key recruits and the development of your career through the right moves because I have around 20 years’ experience in the legal industry.  

Having previously been a practicing Employment Lawyer and founding member and COLP of the first law firm in the UK to be established within an accountancy practice, I developed my career through key moves and grew the legal practice through recruiting the right people. 

I therefore pride myself on being as careful and respectful of your team’s growth or your career as you are; a work ethic that is very much at the heart of Clara Rose Consultancy. Matching the aspirations of both firms and individuals are of utmost importance to the team at Clara Rose Consultancy, as is the need for confidentiality.

Having a passion to support law firms in creating healthy and sustainable high performing lawyers and the individual lawyers to excel in their career, I enjoy building lasting relationships with firms and candidates alike.

Based in Suffolk and Cambridge, we operate across East Anglia and nationwide.

Specialities: law, coaching, facilitation, negotiation, relationship building, recruitment, executive search, business development, networking.

👉🏼 You need a solution that integrates seamlessly into your workplace culture, delivering maximum impact with minimal effort on your team.

WHO WE HELP

We work with legal professionals who often feel stuck in a cycle of relentless deadlines, heavy workloads, and long hours. Many are battling stress, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome while juggling high client expectations and internal firm pressures. These challenges affect not just their performance but their confidence and sense of control.

Business owners and senior leaders often see these struggles play out across their teams, leading to disengagement, reduced productivity, and a workplace culture that feels stretched to its limits. We help break this cycle by empowering individuals to build resilience, develop self-management skills, and find healthier ways to perform at their best.

WHAT WE DO

The StressLess Academy equips individuals—from junior associates and business support teams to senior leaders, as well as business owners—with the tools to:

➡️ Manage stress effectively and build resilience.

➡️ Develop self-awareness and self-management skills.
