Personal resilience is the ability to cope with extreme stress-provoking events without experiencing any personal stress signs or symptoms. Resilience training can help build personal resilience to withstand such events without developing stress-related problems.

Having personal resilience can also help you succeed in the face of adversity – to push on rather than to give up.

The webinar covers topics such as learning from mistakes, dealing with failures, workload pressures and how to be proactive, dealing with set-backs, a look at how resilient people tend to view things and deal with them and how a change of perspective can make a significant difference to a situation.  By enhancing personal resilience, there is likely to be a reduction in the risk of stress.
