We all face challenges, disappointments, and setbacks in our private and professional lives: that's not going to change. But it's not the nature of the challenges themselves that determine the outcomes - it's how we respond to them that makes the difference. Responding with resilience - physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially enables us not just to survive - but to thrive.
Building resilience increases our capacity to cope with adversity and setbacks - it is a reservoir of psychological strength that we can call upon when we need it. Instead of hiding from their challenges or using unhelpful coping mechanisms, resilient people face them head-on and with an optimistic outlook. Working with resilience doesn't eliminate problems or difficulties, but it does enable us to put them into perspective and to bounce back positively.
The good news is that you can learn to be more resilient.
This 90-minute workshop will equip you with practical techniques you can use to respond with more energy and positivity to life's inevitable struggles, putting things into context and controlling your emotional reaction. This should improve your productivity and reduce the risk of burning out.

Employee engagement is at the heart of a thriving workplace. There’s a wealth of research that proves engaged employees are more committed, innovative, and motivated. This leads to increased productivity, reduced staff turnover, and improved customer satisfaction.
And how about the opposite? Employees who are actively disengaged are a huge threat to their organizations. Not only are they less productive, less creative, and less efficient, but their negativity can harm workplace culture, reputation, and performance.

It’s often said that feedback is like a gift – but why does it sometimes feel like an attack instead? We need to remember that the true purpose of feedback is to either motivate someone to continue doing what they’re doing well, or to help them redirect negative or unsuccessful behavior to have better future outcomes. So, when giving feedback, we need to maintain a positive intent and strive for a positive outcome. We not only have to care enough to offer the gift of feedback… we also need to care enough to deliver it in a way that is helpful for the other person.
