Resilience is the ability to remain productive, engaged and calm - even while experiencing pressure or adversity. Just as resilient metals bend but don't break, resilient people bounce back from stressful experiences and may emerge stronger and perform better as a consequence.
This course applies the latest thinking on resilience to everyday working and personal lives. It will equip you with practical tools to continue to improve your resilience after the workshop is over. It is based on current scientific research and sound psychological principles.
This course came out of Gaynor Parkin's popular book "I've Had it Up to Here: From Stress to Strength" published by Consumer NZ.

* Understand the key components of resilience.
