Resilience Fundamentals
Objective of Event:
The IRIS model of resilience believes that there are two core factors that help us better understand ourselves and develop a resilient mindset™:
How accurately we interpret the world around us (thinking styles); and
How well we can adapt our own behaviour in different situations (behavioural flexibility)
Resilience Fundamentals is a personal skills development program designed to promote one’s own resilience – the ability to remain focused, on-task and in problem solving mode – in the face of workplace adversities like change, ambiguity and uncertainty.
Through a process of retrospective learning participants will…
Become aware of negative thinking and self-limiting responses;
Build the mental strength to navigate their way through life’s crises;
Learn to cope with grief and anxiety;
Overcome barriers that get in the way of building solid relationships;
Master the art of realistic optimism; and
Identify with the strengths of authentic happiness.
Workshop Content:
