A positive and interactive course to support the development of wellbeing and resilience skills - not just for maximising individual health, but also to encourage and challenge teams
to grow stronger together
Why Wellbeing and Resilience training is so important
Key messages for participants during this training will be to look after themselves and others; be more aware of the potential impacts of their own pressures and challenges; increase their current pressure management techniques; use their support networks to the full, and never stop building resilience.
Participants will have the opportunity to evaluate their current levels of wellbeing in relation to work-life balance. These insights will give them a greater awareness of how they can positively develop to handle change and adversity situations - especially when tapping into support from others, and providing good levels of support themselves.
By promoting positivity and being encouraged to challenge negative thinking throughout the course, delegates will appreciate the value of consistently focusing on elements within their lives that can be controlled, as well as learning from each other.

A customer testimonial from the Developing Wellbeing and Resilience course
"The trainer was great in her delivery/ reading and controlling the room and came across as calm, confident, understanding and it was evident that she is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in the topic/ course content. The training has helped people re-assess themselves and their work, the things they can control/ change and how they can be more positive and also look for signs in others and help. In terms of the feedback from the participants, the comments overall were extremely positive."
Sally Thompson, HR Manager, The Glenturret Distillery
