Protect your resilience: What every leader needs to know

How resilient are you? It’s a question worth asking. Our ability to be resilient, or bounce back, can have a significant influence on how we manage stress and interact with our colleagues, teams, and clients, on our physical and mental health. It can also impact how we respond to change, make decisions, and maintain stamina for ongoing productivity. It can impact our success.

Resilience and mental health in the workplace and in life can be built and improved. This session provides research-based tips to help you build and protect your resilience and support the resilience of others, whether at work or in your personal life. You may be surprised at how applying principles of cognitive behavioural and brain research can produce positive results both at the individual and team levels in your organization.

Learning Objectives

  1. Explain what mental health and resilience are – and how to actively contribute
    to building them
  2. Recognize the warning signs that resilience may be decreasing, and understanding the implications from the individual and team perspectives
  3. Apply practical, research-based tools to both build and retain resilience
  4. Identify best practices and resources for teams and organizations to increase and protect resilience
