Resilience is now a key competence for managers working under pressure during periods of change. This training course helps managers improve their personal resilience as well as supporting the resilience of those they work with.
“It was useful and the trainer was very engaging and knowledgeable.
I do not feel anything was lost undertaking it remotely.”
Key Benefits of the Resilience for Manager's Course
With full participation managers will achieve the following:
- Appreciate that being a resilient manager starts with the development of personal skills
- Improved grasp of the benefits of good role modelling during challenging times
- Greater appreciation of the benefits of personal care and pacing oneself
- Increased awareness that change and adversity often creates opportunities
- Be prepared to try new things and take appropriate risks
- A better understanding of the benefits of building and restoring important relationships
It is not possible to make progress without experiencing occasional setbacks and disappointments; however, it is how managers react and respond to problems that will determine the success or failure of the organisation.
Resilience is the ability to maintain your normal level of performance, or improve on it, during times of change and adversity. The key to this training course is the understanding that the positive attitudes and behaviours which generate resilience can be developed.
This 3-hour virtual training course introduces areas of personal resilience and how they can be improved. During this process, facilitated discussion will be used to link individual resilience to both team and organisational resilience so that managers can prepare practical action plans at the end of the course.
The course is highly interactive and contains a variety of practical exercises. Delegates receive a comprehensive workbook and access to online resources which can be used post-training to improve one or more resilience skills.
This course is suitable for anyone whose role involves being a people manager or supporting others.

I really enjoyed this delivery as David mixed the “formal” with anecdotes and true examples whilst allowing for questions. He is obviously learned and interested in the subject and he is an inspirational gentleman.
