Resilience: why, what & how to perform with excellence (3 parts + coaching)

Resilience is often described as an attitude. Although, during this pandemic, some leaders have described it as a core competency for performance in the new world, post-pandemic. We must guard against it becoming weaponized though.

Why invest in building or enhancing resilience?

1. Improve performance - for the individual, team or organization. OUTCOMES!
2. Increase individual and collective job satisfaction. HAPPINESS!
3. Experience and repeat the thrill of overcoming challenges. MEANING!

What is resilience?

1. Attitude -resilient people bring an attitude, unique work ethic, to every challenge they encounter, when the outcome they seek, MATTERS.
2. Mindset - resilient people lean readily into a growth mindset, focusing on improving their value, rather than proving their value.
3. Competency - resilient people, whether a leader or an individual contributor, persist with excellence when solving problems or delivering on desired outcomes.

How do we examine resilience in this workshop?

The Social Brain - Session 1 of 3 focuses on exploring the human brain

How the social brain is organized so we can leverage its natural tendencies more effectively to maximize our resilience.

• A model to help us recognize the threats and rewards so we can adapt appropriately to be more resilient.
• Understand the three brains well enough to select the one best suited to help us persist against the odds.

Mindset - Session 2 of 3 focuses on how our mindset governs our capacity to perform with focused resilience.

• How mindset forms and guides our behaviours, choices and patterns.
• A model to revisit our mindset and adjust when focused resilience is warranted
• Understand and test the mindset model against the 6 domains of the social brain learned in the first session.

Competence - Session 3 of 3 focuses on bringing the necessary skills to bear when resilience is required. All models and plans build on the learning from the social brain and mindset.

• How learned-helplessness erodes our resilience and the power of optimism to counter its impact.
• Three new models to compliment the lessons from earlier sessions to help us better appreciate how to eliminate or minimize erroneous conclusions and thinking processes that slow us down and erode our capacity to persist when an outcome matters.
• Bringing it all together with a plan of action. Resilient people constantly do the work to expand their capacity to observe, reflect, think and plan to be and do better. Mapping a plan to act on the lessons is essential for a resilient practice to emerge.

Bonus #1: What if the practice is hard to embed?

The workshop is designed with neuroscience principles to help embed learning into practice. That said, it is the most difficult part of shifting our behaviour and essential, if improvement is desired. To help with this, all participants will be scheduled for a 40 minute laser coaching within 2 weeks of completing the 3rd session. While this is optional, it is advisable and will maximize the impact of the learning.

Bonus #2: Introduction to a business model for resilient organizations - Transustain Concept

This bonus content will be facilitated by Nermina Harambasic. Participants are invited to remain in the Zoom meeting for an exciting presentation on this innovative new model. Resilience has been elevated as an indicator of health for individuals and organizations. Nermina will walk us through a few of the major process steps organizations may consider as they seek to be more resilient in the face of change.
