Resilience is about far more than “bouncing back”. Resilience is about strengthening your ability to navigate future challenges—a skill that is arguably one of the most critical for both personal and professional success. Strength in this area positions you to adapt in the face of change, think more objectively under pressure, creatively problem solve, identify unexpected opportunities, and maintain hope and focus on the future. Fortunately, resilience isn’t a static personality trait, but rather something you can develop with awareness and practice. In this session, you will learn strategies for bolstering your resilience, discover why mindset matters and how to adjust your thinking when navigating difficult situations, and learn how to approach future challenges with realistic optimism.
