Resilient Leadership

Scheduled Sessions

Course overview

• Was there ever a time when the need for robust and resilient leaders, teams of people and enterprises was so strong and evident? Increasingly employers are valuing those with the knowledge and skills to do the job coupled with the optimism and resilience to stick to the tasks and maintain composure in the face of adversity and setbacks.
• If it is vital for your business to have a handle on the dynamics of what really creates a foundation of robustness and resilience, this program will deliver. Drawing on more than 40 years of research by Professor Martin Seligman, this program is focused on unpacking and then repacking optimism and resilience in a way that brings the science of optimism to life, with practical applications for business and other enterprises.
• For many people and organisations learned habits of thinking about, and perceiving the causes of adversities and setbacks severely handicaps their capacity for the resilience needed to overcome them quickly. The program begins with a case study and moves quickly on to providing a comprehensive understanding of what optimism and resilience really is. The learning then moves into a series of case studies, discussions and practical exercises designed to rapidly grow every participant's capability in making practical use of optimism and resilience.
