Sir Ernest Shackleton famously inspired and led to safety his hopelessly trapped expedition crew after the British Antarctic exploration ship Endurance became an icelocked frozen wreck for months in 1915, and he is studied at Harvard Business School and worldwide for his principles of resourceful leadership under crisis. In my Co-Solutions clinical practice partnership with his descendant Dr. Bruce Shackleton, I like to allude to your formulation of Competition, Connection, Confidence, Courage and Commitment as the “Five Co-‘s” of Every Adventure in Life and Learning. Thank you for your neat capsulation of Claude Bernard’s advice to search our “milieu interieur” to restore balance and resilience by taking note of Resource Holding Potential and Value.

Professional services providers, their clientele with whom they may work and lay public in common discourse will find Resource Holding Potential (RHP) and Resource Value (RV) to be versatile constructs for purposes of use in descriptive and explanatory dialogue both in application and in common discourse. It has seemed to me advisable to create a mutual bank of such descriptors and labels rather than be bogged down in what I consider to have been the faux scientific but overly broad metaphorical terms introduced in Strachey’s translation of Sigmund Freud and also in several popular contemporary approaches to individuals and systems as clinical interventions, such as in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EDMR).
