The Fundamentals of Resilience

Relentless change and volatility.  Escalating expectations.  Changing roles, values and cultures.  Limited resources.  Increasing complexity.  Economic uncertainty.

The world has always been a challenging place.  Many of us are trying to cope with face paced and unpredictable change.  The only thing that we can be certain about change – it’s not going to stop.

People with good levels of resilience perform well despite ceaseless challenges and high stress.  They have tenacity, are adaptive, collaborative, and innovative.  They have the ability to focus on and achieve their goals, even in the face of adversity.

If you are reading this, it is probably because you have heard a lot about resilience or know a little bit about it but you are keen to find out more.

You may want to learn how to develop your wellbeing and personal growth using scientifically research tools.

You may find yourself having difficulties in managing challenging situations, which impact upon you affecting your work performance and affect the important relationships in your family and social life.

You may be leading and managing teams of people continually working under pressure and who look to you to help them to with their mental health and stress.

Welcome to the resilience course that you’ve been looking for.

This course has been designed to help you to learn about the fundamentals of resilience and to provide you with practical  tools that you can apply immediately to create positive change in your life. 

There is no universal panacea.  Each human being is unique and faces challenges that are individual to them, so the course focuses on building your resilience by working on your exclusive set of strengths and skills and your internal protective factors that underpin your resilience.

Not only will you strengthen your mental health and wellbeing, you will be able to help others and form more robust relationships.

With this in mind, you will have to rise to the challenge of working with the practical activities provided and working with the strategies outlined within the course.

The course also investigates the ways that the internal factors work to protect your mental health and wellbeing and ways to support these in your work environment.

The course is based on many years of scientific research and knowledge but, most importantly, it is a course focused on practical application and includes 3 case studies to highlight this.

No previous knowledge is required for you to benefit from the course.  You will be considering ways to apply the knowledge in your daily life.
