Developing Personal Resilience as a Leader
Resilience is the ability to take the challenges and changes of life in your stride and say yes to the opportunities that excite you.
Description
Today’s workforce demands a lot from leaders: to be purpose-driven, authentic, inclusive, visionary yet humble; to create a space of psychological safety for their people and to show up without the armour of hierarchy. These demands can create a significant emotional load on leaders who are facing into a tide of consumer and shareholder activism, disruptive change to business practices and endless cost focus. Now is the time to understand that working on our personal resilience is not a sign of weakness, but of strength.
Join this course to engage with other leaders in learning resilience habits that make a difference now and can serve you for a lifetime.
