Resilience

Course Details

How effectively can you deal with difficulties and stress?

Psychologists have come up with the term ‘resilience’ which is something that helps us to better manage things like tragedy, natural disaster, health concern, relationship, work, or school problems. This one-day Resilience course shows how well a person can adapt to the events in their life, whereby a person with good levels of resilience tends to have the ability to bounce back more quickly and with less stress than someone whose resilience is less developed. This is also relevant when looking at an employee’s mental health

Everyone has resilience, it is simply a question of how much and how well you put it to good use in your life. Having resilience does not mean an individual does not feel the intensity of the event or problem. Instead, it just means that they have found a pretty good way of dealing with it more quickly than others.

When faced with adversity in life or at work, it is important to be able to work through it and develop personal strategies for dealing with those more difficult situations. The good news is that everyone can learn to enhance their levels of resilience. This course will provide leaders and individuals with the knowledge and tools to enable them to cope with the more demanding situations that we seem to face, day in, day out.
