Mind inSight™: Resilience at Work
The need to manage stress at work has never been greater. Some stress is good for us, helping us to remain active and alert, but when it exceeds our ability to cope it can affect our health and performance. And this can be at any level in the organisation. Studies have shown that up to 80% of CEOs find their job stressful and that there is too little downtime for recovery. In this environment, being able to have positive control over emotions is critical if leaders are to stay at their best or, better still, have an edge.
Resilience at Work helps in three ways. By:
- Developing mindfulness skills to help you manage the stress that these situations cause.
- Building your communication skills in responding confidently to achieve the outcomes you want.
- Increasing your ability to handle future stress more effectively through developing your resilience.

Resilience is not about everything turning out OK. Resilience is being OK no matter how things turn out. Anna Wildman |
It builds practical skills that can be used immediately to create more engaged, high performing individuals and teams.

What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is the ability to be aware of yourself and others in order to make better choices about how you respond. In the same way that physical fitness relies on exercise, so your psychological skills are strengthened through developing your capacity for attention and concentration. This in turn can have a huge impact on your performance, one of the reasons why it is being used by organisations as diverse as the US Marines, GSK, Google and Harvard Business School.
