Online Workshop: Personal Resilience - Professional Development Series

An increase in the pace of change in the workplace provides both challenge and opportunity. Personal resilience is more than ever a determinant of how we respond and succeed in this environment.

About this event

This workshop introduces concepts of neuroplasticity and the use of mindfulness to build and enhance personal resilience and mental toughness. Through the use of simple models, participants reflect on their habitual cognitive patterns and the way that these may drive their decision-making process, behaviours and resilience. Powerful frameworks will be shared to help participants embed their learning into sustainable changes.

This workshop has been designed to bring the concept of resilience into practice utilising real life examples and ensuring the practical application of skills post the workshop.
