Overview:

You are invited to the first of ARDL’s events focusing on wellbeing.

Your wellbeing results from your resilience, and your resilience is a result of the choices you make every day.  This session introduces resilience as a set of skills making up a ‘balancing system’ to keep us:

  • around the optimal zone in the energy and effectiveness curve;
  • focused on personal resilience: maintaining the physiology of energy;
  • creating some balance inside the existing areas of flexibility;
  • working effectively so as not to get overwhelmed;
  • identifying levers of control for focused working and maintaining positive challenge based mind-sets about work.

Participants will develop a better understanding of the areas of resilience that contribute to balance by recognising some personal red flags indicating we have drifted out of the optimal zone heading toward stress and reduced effectiveness in ourselves.
