Resilience & Mental Toughness.

programme

In today’s world characterised by high levels of challenge, change and uncertainty, Resilience and Mental Toughness has never been more important.

Employees 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. 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 Programme is an interactive and highly effective approach to enhancing high performing individuals and cultures.

Getting stronger with each challenge faced

A comprehensive programme designed to build resilience and mental toughness for enhanced confidence, motivation and health. Using the forces of insight, coaching, knowledge and community, participants become part of a motivated and supportive group, focused on building resilience and mental toughness so that they become stronger in the face of challenge and achieve their goals.

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.

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 individuals and teams, 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 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 participants 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.

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 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: The Chemistry of Motivation & Achievement

How do we keep going and even achieve in the face of challenge, change and uncertainty? In the Chemistry of Motivation and Achievement we explore the key systems in our brains that enhance motivation so that we achieve our goals and how we can easily activate them to create a positive upward spiral.

Workshop Six: Enhancing Mental Toughness

Drawing from the fields of elite sport, business and high performance, the sixth 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.

I would go as far as to say that this is one of the best leadership programmes I have ever completed. With 32 years of leadership I have had the opportunity to attend many programmes but this one felt instantly different. After the first session I was hooked and I made sure I committed to attending all sessions. The programme was really powerful and benefited me professionally and personally in so many ways.

The Resilience & Mental Toughness programme was excellent. I have really appreciated the knowledge that was shared in the programme, in helping me to process all the changes in 2020/21. I have been able to reflect upon and process my reactions to these events and now feel more ‘back to myself’ in moving onwards and upwards. Thank you!
