Workshop Overview

“More than education, more than experience, more than training, a person’s level of resilience will determine who succeeds and who fails. That’s true in the cancer ward, it’s true in the Olympics, and it’s true in the boardroom”
Diana Coutu, Harvard Business Review, “How resilience works”

Resilience is having the ability to overcome challenges, trauma, set backs, personal crises and obstacles and come back stronger, and wiser. Resilience is an emotional intelligence in contrast to our intellectual intelligence. It is how we manage our emotional world to deal with the uncertainties and difficulties in life and also how we harness our innate abilities and create meaning in what we do.

People with higher levels of resilience are more productive, build better relationships and are more likely to succeed. In addition and maybe more importantly, resilient people feel more able to influence their lives in and out of work, are less stressed and are able to enjoy life more.
