Understanding and Developing Your Resilience

Changes can be immensely stressful and sometimes harmful to the mental health and wellbeing of those working within organisations, as navigating new systems, and facing uncertainty can cause considerable anxiety.

Developing greater levels of personal resilience can help individuals not only weather the changes but even actively flourish. While some may shy away from seeking help in the face of turbulence, it is important to remember that resilience is not an innate quality but a skill that must be developed, like any other professional tool. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to reflect on current changes and look at the impact of change and uncertainty on us as individuals.

Understanding and Developing Your Resilience is from our signature Leadership and management series. At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
