Resilience in the workplace 101

The ability to cope well with pressure, to keep going even when things get tough, and to learn from mistakes and setbacks — these are qualities we admire in people. But is it just the naturally resilient that are successful? And even if you're naturally resilient, can you build up your resilience over time? That's what I'll be discussing here — how being more resilient can lead to success and fulfilment at work.

Whether you're an individual contributor or a manager looking to help your team members become more resilient, this one-day course is for you. Learn about what resilience is, how it can help your performance and the mindset and attitudes of resilient people. Participants will learn principles, techniques and strategies to become more resilient and able to handle life's demands.

Everyone will have to deal with a difficult challenge – some in the same week, some once in their lifetime. It is human nature that facing a challenge feels bad at first. It might feel uncomfortable or frustrating and our instinct is to avoid or even run away from it. That might bring relief for a short time but it won't help us develop resilience. Resilience is the ability to stay strong or bounce back when you are faced with challenges, difficult times or painful emotions. We will look at strategies to develop resilience if we want to be successful in the long term and find fulfilment in our work.
