Bouncing Back: Learning from failure and building resilience
This is a course that focuses on the inevitability and value of failure and its integral relationship to resilience.
This is a period in history when failure is impossible to avoid. We are working in such uncertain and stressful times, making decisions without precedence and as leaders being looked to for answers to questions for which we have no response. It is impossible to conduct yourself at work without disappointments, challenges and trauma from which we will need to recover and get back to the job. Indeed, if you never fail you never learn.
Resilience is not about forgetting these experiences but learning from adversity. Failure and difficulty will change us, impacting our emotional selves and our future response to crises.
In this course, you will have time to examine your own relationship with failure and to learn practical techniques and tools to help you develop your resilience. Discussing failure can feel exposing yet no one will be put on the spot, we will work together on universal themes of vulnerability, providing you with a safe and supportive virtual space in which to think and work.
Bouncing Back: Learning from failure and building resilience is an online course within our Professional Development Skills series.
