Wellbeing and resilience
Wellness and wellbeing are experienced differently by all of us. One thing we do know, though, is that when our wellbeing is affected in one area, it can have an impact on other aspects of our lives. By focusing on and improving our overall wellbeing we build our resilience, our ability to cope and bounce back when things get tough. In times of uncertainty it is even more essential that we look after ourselves and ensure that we have the tools and reserves we need to get through and thrive.
This programme aims to help anybody who would like to strengthen their resilience or would just like to tap into some ways of managing their wellbeing more effectively at home and at work – and especially when working from home. The techniques suggested are up-to-date, evidenced-based approaches that will enable you to optimise your personal resilience rather than spend time wading through endless wellness fads and promotions.
Participants will be able to identify what they need to do differently in order to maintain their wellbeing and prioritise their personal resilience at work. They will discover ways to deal with challenges, such as negative emotions and feelings of overwhelm, to help their mental fitness. They will be able to take away practical ideas to immediately use in their work and personal lives.
Learning objectives
The overall objective of this unique programme is that participants will:
- Understand what resilience is and where it comes from
- Learn about proven approaches and models that can be used to boost emotional and physical wellbeing and thereby strengthen resilience
- Break unhealthy habits
- Support others to stay well – at home and at work
- Be inspired to create a wellness action plan and put some of these techniques into practice
Format
Our flexible webinars – ‘flexinars’ – adapt around the needs of your people and organisation. Sessions can be run one after the other in longer virtual workshops, or spread out to form a programme which can be supported with curated resources and practical activities.
Design your own programme, selecting the topics and focus you need.
Each topic is covered in a 45-minute session – so you can choose three to make up a half-day virtual workshop, run two as a 90-minute virtual classroom, spread them out as weekly or monthly lunchtime learning sessions. Or just pick one to start with and see how you go.
We can work with you to create a flexinar package that suits you, adding other topics as appropriate or blending in with your existing activities in this area.
Book three or more sessions and we’ll include the PDF curated learning resource (with your branding) free of charge, to use as a follow-up to the sessions and to share with the rest of your staff.
