About the Building Resilience Training Course
Resilience refers to the capacity to overcome challenges, recover from difficulties, manage change, and keep moving forward despite setbacks. It is the ability to adapt and cope by engaging mental, emotional and behavioural flexibility and is sometimes referred to as the ability to ‘bounce back’.
It’s highly unlikely that life will be without challenges or change, and your levels of resilience will determine how well you manage these challenges. Resilience isn’t about avoiding challenges – it’s about coping with them and overcoming them.
Resilience is not just necessary for managing life and work – it also plays a crucial role in maintaining mental health, productivity and overall wellbeing.
This course will help you to understand that resilience is a set of skills, behaviours, and actions that can be learned and developed. We can activate it in ourselves and help nurture it in others. Best of all, the strength of our resilience can be developed in simple, everyday actions – this course will show you how.
Aims of the Building Resilience course
By the end of this course you will:
- Understand what is meant by resilience and its importance in both professional and personal life.
- Be able to identify common traits in resilient people.
- Have learned some practical techniques to help improve resilience in daily life.
Who is this online training course for?
The Building Resilience training course is suitable for all employees across all levels of an organisation, as well as individuals wanting to develop and grow their own personal resilience.
Course Content
1Understanding resilience
The course begins by explaining what resilience is and why it is crucial for success and survival. You’ll look at some of the personal and professional challenges human beings can encounter, and how resilience levels determine how well these challenges are managed.
Next, you’ll look at the science. You’ll find out how resilience is supported by the brain’s ability to adapt and regulate emotions, manage stress, and maintain focus, and the role played by the different parts of the brain. You’ll also find out about how the hormones and chemicals produced by your body affect resilience, and how the adaptability of the brain plays a role.
As you move through this section, you’ll explore a number myths and misconceptions about resilience and examine some case study examples of resilience to help increase your understanding.
Finally, you’ll learn about the key attributes of resilient people, before completing this chapter with a brief knowledge check.
2Developing and improving resilience
When considering factors that contribute towards resilience, it is also important to understand what some of the barriers to resilience might be.
This section of the course explores the impact of the following:
- negative thought patterns
- poor stress management
- perfectionism
- unhealthy lifestyle habits
- fear of failure
- inflexibility
- past trauma or difficulties
After looking at these barriers to resilience, next you’ll explore some techniques and strategies to overcome negative thought patterns, combat the fear of failure and develop positive habits and coping mechanisms. As you work through this chapter, you’ll begin to understand how to grow and strengthen your resilience. You’ll practice a number of methods and techniques and find out about how each of them helps build resilience.
The section concludes with more practical tips for building resilience, it explains how to develop a growth mindset, develop problem-solving skills and develop self efficacy and realistic optimism.
3Conclusion
The course concludes with a reflection, asking you to think about how resilient you are, and encourages you to consider the steps you could take to improve your resilience for the longer term.
