In today’s world characterised by high levels of challenge, change and uncertainty, for our leaders and leaderships teams, Resilience and Mental Toughness has never been more important.
Leaders who build their resilience and mental toughness are much more able to stay healthy, manage stress, recover from setbacks, persevere through uncertainty and adapt to change. Not only that, they are able to maintain a higher level of emotional control, commitment and confidence in the face of challenge. This translates to many benefits including better decision making and an enhanced ability to inspire, motivate and lead teams.
These are skills that have been specially identified as being essential both now and for the future of work.
Drawing on the latest research from health, neuroscience and psychology, combined with examples of resilience and mental toughness from the worlds of sport, business and innovation, the Resilience & Mental Toughness Leadership Programme is an interactive and highly effective approach to enhancing high performing individual leaders and leadership teams.

Resilient Leaders for Resilient Teams
Why we developed the Resilience & Mental Toughness Programme
Never has there been a time when we have faced such high levels of challenge, change and uncertainty. These three elements impact people very differently depending on their levels of resilience and mental toughness. Some will be depleted and some will learn and grow stronger.
As we move into the Future of Work, the pace of challenge, change and uncertainty will only increase. Experts in the future of work cite a range of so called ‘soft skills’ – emotional regulation, mental flexibility and ability to learn from and adapt to change, as being vital for the success of individuals, teams and organisations. These skills are essential for leaders.
We do not believe these skills are ‘soft’. We know that to not only survive but to truly thrive in the future of work, these and many other skills taught in the Resilience & Mental Toughness Programme are essential.
For leaders increased levels of resilience and mental toughness will positively impact health, psychological wellbeing, the ability to cope with stress, relationships and what you achieve personally and professionally.
Drawing on the latest research from health, neuroscience and psychology, combined with examples of high performance from the world of sport, business and innovation, the Resilience & Mental Toughness Leadership Programme is an interactive and highly effective approach to enhancing high performing individuals.
Key elements of the programme have been drawn from the research of resilience experts such as Dr Martin Seligman (University of Pennsylvania) who has worked with institutions and businesses across the world including the US Military.
Often, until we understand the science behind a concept, we will continue to repeat the same patterns of thoughts and behaviours that we have developed over many years.
The programme enhances resilience & mental toughness by empowering leaders to understand how their brains work – from a chemical level upwards – so that they know how to think and behave, and how to transform these new patterns into enduring resilience and mental toughness habits.
Focusing on what is really important.
100% of Leaders surveyed rated the Resilience & Mental Toughness Programme as Excellent.

Workshop One: The Chemistry of Resilience & Mental Toughness
The first workshop sets the scene for the programme, introducing the concepts behind wellbeing, resilience and mental toughness for times of uncertainty, challenge and change. Participants learn about the most important systems in the brain that are associated with resilience and mental toughness and how to recognise and enhance the chemicals that drive these systems.
Workshop Two: Physical and Psychological Wellbeing
Physical health and psychological wellbeing are the foundation of resilience and mental toughness. In this workshop we discover what humans need to thrive. We also explore the key elements of habit formation so that positive changes to wellbeing are sustained and strengthened over time.
Workshop Three: Building Stress Resilience
Looking at the survival response, we explore what happens in our bodies when we become stressed. We discover the impact of being in a state of habitual stress on our health, cognition and performance. Participants will identify their own stress triggers, bringing awareness to the areas of life in which they may need to apply different thinking and behaviours. We embed a four step approach to responding to stressful moments and how to reframe stress to build confidence in the face of challenge.
Workshop Four: Building Psychological Resilience
In the fourth Workshop we explore the features of resilience, the benefits to health and performance, and what resilient people do differently. We look at thinking traps and how to develop mental agility for increased flexibility and clarity in the face of challenge, change and uncertainty. We also learn how to use adverse experience to build confidence.
Workshop Five: Enhancing Mental Toughness
Drawing from the fields of elite sport, business and high performance, the fifth workshop unlocks the key behaviours and thinking patterns of the most mentally tough individuals around the world and how you can use these strategies to not only manage under pressure but actively seek out challenge and grow stronger as a result.
Workshop Six: Building High Performing Cultures
What are the key leadership skills required to build high performing teams and cultures? In the final workshop we explore the key features of high performing cultures from around the world, we discover the chemistry of motivation, engagement and achievement and we build a plan that leaders can immediately apply to their own teams for powerful results.
