Maintaining Resilience in a Turbulent Environment

For decades we’ve been aware that the pace of change is increasing. In the past few years, however, there’s another dynamic that is making organizational life especially difficult: turbulence. Put those two together – constant and increasing pace of change + turbulence, and the results can be daunting. Here are some examples:

Frequent (and often sudden) changes among senior leaders
Ongoing budget challenges, possibility of severe budget cuts
Wage freezes
Constantly changing high priorities
New vision statements that go nowhere
New leaders who think re-orgs will solve all problems
Several high-stakes challenges, at the same time
Sudden demands with impossible time frames
Buy-outs, large numbers of experienced people leaving
An angry public looking for someone to blame

This workshop helps individuals and staff teams address these and similar problems, by building up their resilience. Resilience, simply put, is our ability to bounce back after a major challenge.

What you’ll leave with:

Awareness of the impact that turbulence has on us (physically, mentally, emotionally)
Some common, dysfunctional ways that some people deal with turbulence
The nature of “learned helplessness” – why it develops, why it’s so damaging
A self assessment on your individual resilience
Examples of resilient individuals and teams/organizations
Strategies for increasing resilience: your own, your team’s
Methods for reaching people whose low energy and negativity are affecting others in the workplace
