Overview

Workplaces are in a state of constant transformation. This fact has brought about increasingly complex challenges for individuals and teams, who must make major adaptations as they face new workplace realities. Since the COVID-19 epidemic, the world itself has changed, and it appears the pace of future change will only accelerate.  We can, therefore, anticipate further significant disruption to our personal and professional lives. 

Each person reacts and adapts differently to any given situation.  A resilient person rolls with the punches, adapts positively to new and more difficult situations, resulting in enhanced personal well-being, confidence and emotional balance.  Achieving resilience is an essential strategic skill which allows the individual to prosper in a BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible) world.

This practical learner-centred course provides an opportunity to take a step back and discover new aspects within yourself, encouraging you to use your own strengths and personal power as means to deal differently and more positively with the challenges of the 21^st century.  You will discover several simple yet powerful tools and exercises which will help you develop your resilience and continue on this path well after the training session has been completed.
