Overview:
Resilience is the ability to remain productive, engaged and calm—even while experiencing pressure or adversity. Just as resilient metals bend but don’t break, resilient people bounce back from stressful experiences and may emerge stronger and perform better as a consequence.
This course has been adapted from the popular workshop ‘Strengthening Resilience for the Workplace’ to equip managers with a framework and tool to build personal resilience and to support staff in their development of resilience building.
Who Should Attend:
This course is aimed at leaders, managers, team leaders and supervisors.
Learning Objectives:
•Understand the key components of resilience.
•Examine a toolkit of skills to strengthen personal resilience of yourself and your staff.
•Increase productivity and efficiency at work.
•Improve your sense of personal control and self-efficacy.
•Develop an individual action plan for continuing to build these skills after the workshop.
Course Outline:
Stress and peak performance
•Physiological cycles of stress, and how this links to peak performance.
•Recognising signs of stress in yourself and others, and ways to respond to these.

•Core components of resilience - translating research into action.
Core Component 1: Flexible-thinking patterns
•Learn and use thinking patterns that keep individuals and groups productive and calm, even while under pressure.

Core Component 2: Effective emotion regulation
