The Resilience Factor

Build Your Resilience for Professional Effectiveness

Do you want to increase your ability to respond effectively to the pressures and stresses of work? Some people seem to get through their working life happily thriving - despite the challenges, frustrations and difficulties we all face. Those who thrive, despite the odds, are likely to be resilient people.

Being resilient helps you respond positively despite the challenges presented in your work and personal life. Fortunately you can learn to be more resilient and build your personal resilience! In this workshop you will learn about resilience and how to develop more of it in your life. Interactive and practical techniques will help you identify strategies that build your capacity to manage negative stress so you can grow your resilience.

The following topics will be covered:

  • defining resilience and why it is important to be more resilient
  • strategies for developing resilience at work and in your personal life, such as:

      • developing useful PETs (Performance Enhancing Thoughts) to replace unhelpful ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts)
      • learning how to use the Field of Acceptable and Respectful Behaviours
      • identifying effective communication behaviours

  • how to develop a ‘Personal Resilience Development Action Plan’
  • how to put into practice the strategies covered

    At the end of this workshop you will have an understanding of:

  • what is resilience and why it is great to have in your life
  • actions you can take to develop more resilience in your life
  • more effective ways to respond to life and work challenges

    You will also

  • develop a ‘Personal Resilience Development Action Plan’
  • begin to practice more effective responses to life and work challenges


    Please note: You are welcome to bring current workplace examples related to this topic. If time permits, these may be used as part of your participation in this course.
