Building Resilience

Building resilience is all about developing the skills we need to withstand pressure, change and trauma in our lives and improving our ability to recover from setbacks and adversity. In the working environment, resilience enables us to cope with increased pressure and demand, handle problems constructively and approach organisational challenges such as redundancies, downsizing and restructuring with greater equanimity. In this course, we look at the benefits that resilience can bring in both our personal and professional lives and how we can embark on our own resilience-building journey.

Learning objectives:

• Define resilience
• Idenitfy how resilience can help us in our professional and personal lives
• List the seven habits of resilient people
• Identify what we can do to develop our own resilience
