Resilience is the individual ability to properly adapt to stress and adversity; the ability to quickly recover and maintain positive functioning despite stressors and change.
Building Resilience in individuals and teams
Anxiety and stress in the workplace can be debilitating. Learning strategies and practices for cultivating resilient in the face of these challenges is a helpful set of skills for individuals and teams. Our brains need time for renewal and rest; it takes discipline and knowledge to set ourselves up to be successful. David helps create workplace cultures in which people can thrive by using mindfulness strategies for reducing the impact that anxiety and stress have on them and the relationships they need to reach their goals. Renewal practices are different from stopping work; they are designed to allow the brain to rest and rejuvenate and require active participation. Introducing mindfulness practices to people who work in high stress environments with long hours are proven to increase:
- Joy/happiness
- Compassion
- Mental strength
- Clarity
- Calm
Emotional intelligence is enhanced through learning different mindfulness practices; increased mindfulness supports more effective collaboration. An informed workforce who understands and feels empowered by their knowledge of mindfulness practices canlead to well documented changes:
- Increased trust between leadership and followers
- Higher employee engagement
- Decreased absenteeism
- Greater productivity
David works with individuals and teams to identify practices that can reduce anxiety, encourage people to be more present and enhance their interactions with others as a result.
