Intelligent Resilience

“Despite the overwhelming consensus and supporting evidence that resilience is vital for success in today’s business environment, the truth remains: resilience is hard. It requires the courage to confront painful realities, the faith that there will be a solution when one isn’t immediately evident, and the tenacity to carry on despite a nagging gut feeling that the situation is hopeless.” (Steven Snyder writing in the HBR November 2013.)

With change being the only constant in today’s volatile and uncertain business world, the need for leaders to have highly developed levels of resilience has never been more important. And not only for your own well-being but also that of your colleagues, family and friends as work and our private lives overlap more and more. Resilience is not only the ability to survive but to move forward positively and to thrive.

Using a blended learning approach underpinned by a personal diagnostic questionnaire, case study discussion and insights from contemporary thinking in neuroscience, psychology, and leadership theory we will guide you to:

enhance your understanding of how you react or respond to difficulties and set backs
identify the qualities that comprise a growth mindset
learn how to reframe the internal adversity conversation and let go of established ways of thinking
determine what resilience building strategies work best for you
know how to model resiliency and to recognise when others may need your intervention to develop their own coping mechanisms
