Resilience - Rebounding from difficulty
Ignite - February 2019
This month we are focusing on the topic of Resilience and the importance of being able to rebound from difficult situations or experiences in the workplace.
How do people deal with difficult events that change their lives? Many people react to such circumstances with a flood of strong emotions and a sense of uncertainty. Yet people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful conditions.
What enables them to do so? It involves resilience, an ongoing process that requires time and effort and engages people in taking a number of steps.
This course will describe resilience and some factors that affect how people deal with hardship. These tips will help you focus on developing and using a personal strategy for enhancing resilience in the workplace.
