CCC Events

We are experiencing changes and challenges in the workplace as never before.  The economic events of the past two years have added stress – for ourselves, for our clients – and require us to face stark, new realities.  How do you respond to difficulties and challenges?  How do you assist your clients in responding from a place of “OK-ness”, faith, confidence, and determination?  Our ability to regain equilibrium depends on several factors:  our perspective on the significance of the event within the context of our life, the level of our personal energy reservoir – and our skills in resiliency.

When things are going well (i.e., the way we want them to, or the way we think they "should"), we don't give a thought to resilience.  It's when events and circumstances evoke feelings of disappointment, frustration, despair, resentment and any other emotion we label as "negative" that we need to be resilient.

Based on research and authoritative writings on resilience and neuroscience, this workshop introduces a new self-assessment tool which measures 20 resiliency factors.  Blending this information with reflection, discussion, experiential activities, and practice, this workshop helps participants let go of familiar ways of thinking, believing, and doing, and reach for new solutions to move forward with positive belief, a sense of peace, and grace.  Drawing upon psychology, coaching, meditation, yoga, art, poetry, and writing, we build a foundation using time-tested and refreshing definitions of resilience to create, rebuild, reconnect with, sustain, and live from the inner strength we all can tap.   
 

Topics to be covered:

• Review a variety of definitions and formulate a personal written, visual and metaphorical definition of resilience.
• Analyze experiences of resiliency and non-resiliency using coaching questions to form a holistic framework.
• Identify “healthy” and “unhealthy” ways of coping with situations that upset your equilibrium.
• Explore the impact of thoughts, mindset, and beliefs on your ability to be resilient.
• Evaluate your resiliency using a tool to assess 20 distinct components.
• Participate in/practice diverse resiliency-building activities.

Participants will leave this seminar with the following:

• A personal roadmap of resiliency that provides a supportive touchstone and structure when you meet unwanted and/or unexpected change.
• An in-depth understanding of your coping skills – and which ones hinder rather than serve you.
• Clarity about resiliency strengths and development opportunities.
• Easy-to-do, easy-to-implement practices to build and sustain you and your clients’ resilience reservoirs.
