Boosting Resilience

Traditional Classroom: ½-day
Virtual Instructor-led: One 4-hour session; Two 2-hour sessions; One 3-hour session

Sleeplessness. Anxiety. Irritability. Fear. On a global level, we are currently living in a state of acute stress that is magnified by the prolonged uncertainty that accompanies it. When our body’s “normal” stress response is activated, it can help us stay energetic, alert, and poised for action. It is designed to give us extra strength and focus when we need it.

There is a tipping point, however, when “negative” stress begins to set in. Instead of sharpening our concentration, it eats away at our morale and productivity, damaging our health and eroding our quality of life. What are the warning signs we should look out for, and what steps can we take to mitigate its impact? What can we do to take back control of our lives? The goal of this interactive workshop is to enable you to build and sustain your personal resilience and well-being.
