Some signs your resilience might be low:

  • Lack of energy and motivation
  • No sense of purpose
  • Tired of feeling unwell and stressed
  • Turning to food, alcohol, drugs to cope
  • Forgetfulness, poor decision making, lack of focus or concentration
  • Unable to handle change, challenges and obstacles
  • Lack of connection to your work and the people you work with
  • Lack of creative ideas and inspiration
  • Feeling guilty when you want to take some ‘me time’

No matter who you are there is always room to optimise your mental, emotional and physical resilience and wellbeing.

Getting these areas boosted and balanced will result in healthy high performance, endless creativity and an increase in productivity.

This session will help you assess your own resilience and give you some practical strategies and tools to help you build up your resilience so you can move forward, and upward.
