Workshop: Developing your Resilience

By Andy Whittle and Grace Clifford

Brussels: 27 April 2016

Resilience is a person’s capacity to respond to pressure and the demands of daily life. At work, as in life, resilient people are better able to deal with the demands placed upon them, especially where those demands might require them to be dealing with constantly changing priorities and a heavy workload.

Resilience is not a characteristic gifted to some individuals and not others.

Most people think that a combination of intelligence, long working hours and lots of experience allows people to thrive in potentially hostile working environments. In fact, it is those with resilience who cope best with challenges like constant organisational change and upheaval, impending staff cutbacks, looming deadlines, argumentative meetings and incessant competition from business rivals.

The good news is that although some people seem to be born with more resilience than others, those whose resilience is lower can learn how to boost their ability to cope, thrive and flourish when the going gets tough. (Centre for Confidence and Well-Being, 2006)

In this interactive and dynamic workshop, you will learn strategies for building up your natural resilience to the stresses and strains of modern life.

About Grace Clifford

Grace is a lifelong learner and is passionate about learning new ideas and techniques for improving her work-life balance. Being a mother of two adorable children, with all that that entails, she also has to organise herself and her office life and sometimes her husband too.
