DEVELOPING RESILIENCE The tenacity to overcome life’s greatest challenges
Resilience is a prerequisite for anyone to survive in the modern world. Its importance is magnified when we are in high stress roles or environments where the pressure to perform is great but the resources to achieve the outcome are missing. Another scenario where resilience is crucial is when things go wrong; your career derails, a major project goes astray or your organisation has a public or private disaster. In all cases, we need practical, behaviourally based techniques to ride out the difficult times and respond with improved performance. Why attend? • Defining what resilience is and what it is not • Diagnose the source of your stress and pressure, evaluate your physical and emotional wellness and learn to become ‘unstuck’ when things go wrong • Plan and implement strategies to improve your resistance to stress • Develop short and long term techniques and tactics for developing resilience, recognising the importance of hope, optimism and confidence • Build confidence and self-esteem to better handle unanticipated shocks. Who should attend? Anyone who wants to improve their resilience skills, in particular if you are required to perform consistently in a high pressure or high stress work environment. Alternatively, anyone whose work life has experienced a significant shock and who needs to rebound quickly and positively. Course details: 2 days 9.00am – 4.30pm
