Mastering and Sustaining Resilience

Learning objectives and content:

Resilience is fostered in our habits in relation to our values, mindset, emotions, and behaviour. Critically, this means that resilience is learnable when we develop our self-awareness around these things because we create agency and personal behavioural choices. This masterclass explores several skills and abilities that have been found to be essential for resilience. In addition, participants will uncover the thoughts they hold and actions they take that help or hinder their own levels of resilience by:

• Exploring common preconceptions around resilience that could be hindering their own adaptive capacity
• Exploring the 4 core intra-personal processes underlying resilience
  • Exploring the 4 core intra-personal processes underlying resilience
  • Thoughts – how do resilient people think about positive and negative events?
  • Action – how do resilient people deal with positive and negative events
  • Motivation – what is the motivation for dealing with life events in certain ways and what are the thoughts, actions and motivations that are helping or hindering you?

The content is supported by practical and reflective exercises to help participants capture insights and relate the learning to themselves. Developing a personal Resilience Plan will also help them unpack their personal resources for resilience by giving them a framework to identify what specifically works for them.

1-2-1 optional coaching is available for those interested in putting into practice their resilience plan and continuing their personal development after the masterclass.
