“Resilience is the ability to bounce back – and move forward – from periods of change and adversity, stress and trauma, loss and disappointment, and often more importantly - the strain and intensity of just doing the “day-to-day” in today’s world.”

When we look around, we recognize that many of the same rules and principles that apply to individuals – also apply to families, teams, partnerships, businesses, organisations, and countries.

Really. Look around.

Whether thinking in terms of individuals, families, small groups, or large organizations, our capacity for resilience is directly related to our capacity for flexibility, adaptability, productivity and longevity.

Content

The 90-minute online workshop will cover:

1. An Introduction to Systems Theory – Some realistic and useable ideas about how groups work together best. Adopting effective group strategies and a positive group identity are essential to developing resilience and a sense of satisfaction – which all contribute to better performance – and well-being – whatever the group.

2. Persuasive Communication ABC’s – We look at the essential basics of using clear, compassionate, focused, and consistent communication skills. These are the keys to developing cooperation, trust, teamwork and sense of commitment and belonging.

3. Team Culture, Group Dynamics and Making Change Work - Taking effective action: All plans work well on paper, but the actual process of coming to a decision and making strategies and changes work – and last – is a much a science as it is an art.

Real Feedback

"The most valuable aspects were the opportunity for students to reflect on managing themselves and realise that they not alone in the way they deal with situations that may arise and to realise there are strategies to deal with every situation".

"I loved hearing our students talking about the sessions in between workshops. We also had great feedback from parents when they heard about the content in the workshops".

"Being taught strategies of reducing stress. Especially the exercises!  These are so simple but effective. Our students need to know these ways".

"Very clear presentation!  Very good tools!".

"Stress strategies, breathing, tense. Love the egg/basketball.  Excellent presentations - engaging, clear and activities/videos to keep students engaged and pitched at their level and interests".
