Psychological Resilience is gaining increasing attention in workplace discussions and is recognised as a vital employee attribute.
Resilience is often viewed as an inherent trait that one either has or doesn’t; however, it can be learned and continually developed throughout life, especially in environments that encourage and nurture personal growth.
Leaders play a critical role in fostering resilience in the workplace. By consistently applying a few key principles, leaders can become sources of encouragement and support, helping employees to continually improve, bounce back, develop an internal focus, and maintain a positive, forward-looking outlook.
This one-day masterclass will focus on self-assessment and reflection, enabling participants to evaluate how well they are modelling and developing personal resilience, as well as how they can nurture resilience in others.
