BUILDING RESILIENCE
BUILDING RESILIENCE
Dealing with pressure, and reducing the impact that stress has on our lives is a vital part of modern day living. Resilience is not simply our ability to bounce back, but also our capacity to adapt in the face of challenging circumstances. Organisations need more and more from their people whilst having a duty of care to look after their mental well-being. The good news is that resilience isn’t a personality trait – it’s something that everyone can take steps to build, when we know how. Heather has been helping people to develop their resilience for over 20 years and has found that once they have done this, they can grow and progress dealing with whatever comes their way, moving onwards and upwards to achieve more than they thought they could.
DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Research shows that emotional intelligence is the greatest differentiator between being a good manager or leader and being a great one. It is also the key ingredient for bringing out your personal best. We are all different in how we react to situations. Something that makes one person anxious is not big deal to someone else; or someone loses their temper when another can’t see what the issue is. This is even more difficult in the workplace if you work within or manage teams. So in order to understand this it is vital that we learn what makes people tick and how can we can deal with our own traits and those of others?
Someone who has less talent and emotional intelligence will overcome those who have great talent but are unable to overcome their emotional blockers. Additionally, Emotional Intelligence is essential for all the relationships we have with colleagues, friends, family and partners.
Heather will show how we can better understand ourselves and interpret others. She will show the skills of how to be more self-aware and how to manage your reactions for enhanced performance.
