Resilience Overview
Resilience means different things to different people but, for us, it’s all about performance. Ensuring that people can build on their job skills with a resilience toolkit that enhances their potential and delivers superior performance. Managing energy and creating balance in the key areas of mental, emotional and physiological performance and being able to manage these within a personal context and working environment.
The ability to get the best results from different people in different areas is also vital to organisational sustainability and growth. Leaders and managers have to have the competence and ability to cope with the challenges of business life so they deliver great performance, even in challenging circumstances. As competition increases so will the demands to deliver results and maximise team effort. To meet their targets, leaders will have to ensure they are getting the very best from themselves as well as their team. They need to not only unlock their performance potential, but also manage the performance of their teams and feel happy and fulfilled both inside and outside of work
Personal Resilience combines mental toughness, emotional intelligence and neuroscience techniques, which are then integrated with the latest concepts, theories and models from the top performers in the arts and elite sports. Our model of Personal Resilience allows for people to become more empowered in the areas of Stress Management, Pressure Management and Anxiety - the 'axis of evil' for burnout!
