Rediscovering Resilience
Provides a rethink of what resilience is and how to cultivate it, based on some of the latest developments in our understanding of human psychology and neurobiology.
Much is written and taught but little agreed about what the word, let alone the concept, means.
Albert Camus wrote, “In the midst of winter, there was within me an invincible summer.” This suggests ready access to an inner state as a resource for hard times. Unfortunately, not only are we not routinely taught about this inner state, or how to access it, but the very pace of 21st century life winds up our neurobiological system, our brains and bodies, to make it hard to access.
Let’s take a new look. By understanding some recently-discovered scientific principles, we can discover how to clarify our own mental state, feel emotionally balanced and more connected to a stronger sense of self. We also discover that when “I” feel like this, it impacts others, “Us”. This creates conditions for an upwards spiral of collaboration, adaptability and mutual wellbeing. In other words, resilient systems.
From the basic principles outlined in this event, you and your colleagues can develop your mutual capacity to adapt, learn and deliver the results you know you are capable of and have fun together doing it.
In this event, Dr. B draws on her decades of experience to explore together:
the basic biological principles that allow us to regulate and remodel our nervous systems
techniques to put these principles into practice so we feel more balanced and clear-headed
how this neurobiological state facilitates innovation, adaptability and a sense of wellbeing
the knock-on effects which benefit and protect everyone
how this builds up readiness in the system for when the going gets tough
Key Outputs:
Provides an understanding of the brain/body connection and latest research
Teaches how to ground yourself, stay open and connect better with others
Increases the likelihood of people feeling good about themselves and each other
Supports people to feel better about change and better equipped to respond, adapt and move on successfully
