Resiliency is the ability to bounce forward in times of adversity and see challenges as opportunities for growth. When we work in a world where change is constant and inevitable, resiliency skills are crucial.

Resiliency involves overcoming the natural, counterproductive tendencies we all have that can get in the way of personal success. For example, we are naturally wired to process information with a negativity bias, subconsciously assuming the worst. In fact, many people have a natural tendency to turn small problems into catastrophes, bringing about strong emotional responses to minor adversities.

This program provides you with easy-to-learn, actionable strategies for enhancing your capacity to overcome stress and respond to adversity in a positive, resilient manner.
