Resilience
Flex your cognitive, emotional and behavioural response to adversity
This half or 1-day workshop is designed for people managers and their teams who want to develop resilience, both personally and collectively in a workplace context. It introduces the concept of resilience and uses a framework to build personal, team and organisational resilience. We focus on exploring individual or team response to adversity, workplace pressure and stress, drawing on situations identified by participants. Our attitudes and beliefs lie at the heart of resilience, so we focus on the thoughts and feelings that drive behaviours during difficult or challenging situations. We end by considering personal goals and supports that help ensure the most appropriate response to adversity.
“While many factors affect the development of resilience, the most important one is the attitude you adopt to deal with adversity. Therefore attitude (meaning) is the heart of resilience”
Michael Neenan and Wendy Dryden, 2009
