Boosting Resilience

We don’t always get to choose what comes our way, but we do get to decide how we face it! Resilience is not only about surviving those hard times, but about learning from them and making the most of those challenges.

3 reasons why resilience training is important:

1. Improves Mental Health: Resilience training can help individuals manage and cope with the negative emotions that often come with stressful or challenging situations. It can help reduce the risk of developing mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
2. Boosts Physical Health: Resilience training can also have a positive impact on physical health by reducing the effects of stress on the body. It can help individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle and engage in activities that promote well-being.
3. Enhances Work Performance: Resilience training can also benefit work performance by improving focus, productivity, and decision-making skills. It can also help individuals manage conflicts and work more effectively in teams.

So how can we become more resilient faster? Resilience, just like any other skill, can be learned, practiced and applied to all aspects of our lives. This session is packed with practical tools and techniques. We work through our simple 4-step framework with lots of discussion, examples and as always leave you inspired to take this into your work and life.

I just joined the Fearless Feedback training session with you and other members of our company. You created a very open and safe environment for us to share our vulnerabilities and worries about providing feedback to colleagues with breakout sessions to practice a number of different frameworks which I found super informative and enabling. This will set me up for success in leading by example to build a better culture of feedback in my team and I hope to provide better conversations around things we are and aren't doing well. Thank you!

Marc took a group of us from different areas of our business and walked us through Fearless Feedback. He has such a great manner in his delivery - not patronising, but opening our eyes to different ways of thinking and ideas to apply. I will definitely try some of these ideas out, especially the feedback models and 5 chairs. I also love the follow-up reading he gives and after the last session I downloaded a book by Maya Angelou! I'd really recommend these sessions to others, thank you!

I really enjoyed our recent Fearless Feedback webinar. Our instructor, Dean, was very informative, happily answered our questions and highlighted some of the common challenges we might have faced or may be facing when giving feedback. He has provided us useful strategies how to avoid making mistakes when giving feedback and has given us some good examples too that we can use later when giving feedback. All in all, I feel I am better equipped to give valuable feedback instead of just a short 'great job' and I could see the value in this for managers and staff generally who need to/want to give feedback on a regular basis.

Dean - you are always inspiring to listen to. I needed this reset without realising I really did. Thank you for helping empty my 'stress bucket' that little bit more today. Being able to put into words the actions I need to do is also invaluable. The bucket will stay with me for this year!
