Early Findings

Unflappability Insights
 Unflappability is not anymore a common word that people use in their conversations.
People now perceive the word as old-fashioned.
 
There is also a prevailing perception that this attitude is not anymore observed in people.
However, there are still those who practice this trait as they continue to maintain their calmness in the midst of unexpectedly chaotic situations.
Those who know someone unflappable sees them as people who appear to coast through life without much effort.
Unflappable people were also seen as those who sail through every working day with no sign of frustration on their faces.
They also appear to be composed as they tackle the demands of their jobs and personal life.
According to a leadership coach, unflappable people are those who appear to have understood the key to looking like they have a perfect life.
These people usually have a vision and a plan on what they want in life.
They also have a high degree of commitment to what they want to attain.
This focus on the big picture prevents them from getting distracted unnecessarily.
People who are unflappable were also seen as having a sense of humor that can tide them over through any adversity.
People who are unflappable were also seen as those who have healthy self-esteem as it seems easy for them to brush off their failures.
People who are unflappable were also known to put value in their relationships as they understand that these are worth maintaining.
Unflappable people are also known to practice self-care as a way to ensure that they can control their emotions when things go haywire.
People also see the unflappable ones as those who are good at modifying their thoughts to see the opportunity in every difficult situation.

Summary of Findings:
Our one hour of research provided insights on what people have said about unflappability over time.

Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.

We propose to continue with the research to provide 5-7 additional insights on what people have said about unflappability over time. We will focus on the U.S. and expand as needed to other geographies.

We also recommend undertaking additional research to provide 2-3 situations in the real world where being unflappable helped in reaching a successful outcome. We will provide the context of the situation, how someone unflappable helped in dealing with the situation, and any outcome of their intervention. We will focus on the U.S. and expand as needed to other geographies.
