Description

This is a simple, back-to-basics programme that is built upon presenting research and then encouraging discussion to grow shared understanding, critical thinking and accountability amongst participants. It is based on the very latest research about adult learning, and includes evidence-based research, critical analysis, discussion, goal setting, take-away tasks to complete between workshops, and reflection. 

The programme has been designed for organisations so that staff can develop confidence in their ability to understand and talk about resilience at work.

For the best results, this programme should be championed by senior leaders. By endorsing the programme, sharing stories that describe why the programme is important for your organisation, and encouraging attendance at the workshops, there is likely to be higher engagement and application of learning.

This is a programme about the science of wellbeing and strength, designed to equip your people with tools and resources to grow self-managed resilience. It will not 'fix’ your workplace culture but will help your people to better operate within it. It will also not provide support for any employees who are distressed or in need of psycho-social support. Where this is the case, you should ensure they have access to clinical teams to help them.

The programme consists of six sessions, delivered either remotely or in person.

Not just at work but in general I notice the negative self-talk more, and am changing that to a more positive outlook. I'm also understanding that it is OK to be a disrupter and challenge to people's thinking, ask more questions and create more engagement.

I am actively trying to not take on too many things and have found it quite satisfying delegating work. This has changed as a positive for not only me but my staff as well. I think they enjoy the challenge as well.

I have wellbeing discussions with people at work now to influence a positive culture of talking about wellbeing.

I have analysed my audience to provide language that will most effectively communicate my message to that specific audience. I have also used self checking a lot more by re-reading over my emails.
