According to Paulo Coelho, “the secret to life is to fall down seven times and to get up eight times”. Resilience, from the Latin “to leap back”, is the process and experience of being disrupted by change, opportunities, stressors and adversity and accessing gifts and strengths to grow stronger. This session examines diverse aspects of resilience or “bounce-back ability” in the workplace including the importance, components and development of resilience. The session also includes a brief assessment of personal resilience as well as how to design a resilience development plan.
OBJECTIVE: Discuss diverse aspects of resilience or “bounce-back ability” in the workplace and how to design a resilience development plan.
