Personal Resilience: Developing Wings, Anchors and Flexibility
2-day workshop

Resilience is much more than stress management or bouncing back. It is about leading a rewarding life, being multi skilled, talented, marketable, flexible, strong and happy. Are you built to last? What are the attributes of highly resilient individuals? What can we learn from formal research and theory and how can it be turned into useful, sustainable life strategies?

The most significant change in the structure of modern society is the growing elderly population. Learning from the arch athletes of life, those who are older than 100 years and fully functional, we can position ourselves for a great life experience - now, and later. This module clarifies the personal attributes and learnable mindsets and behaviours typical of highly resilient individuals.
