Stress and Resilience

Increase the Resilience of your People and Organisation

If you want to manage workplace stress more effectively, futureproof your organisation by increasing workforce resilience, or simply want to better understand how your people are coping, we can help.

Our approach is customised to your particular needs and objectives. Data is typically gathered via a validated workforce survey. This can be supplemented by face-to face or virtual focus groups or interviews and/or a review of existing data such as relevant HR statistics, depending on the nature and scale of intervention you require.

We will provide a clear and concise report highlighting strengths and potential areas for improvement, along with options and recommendations which we can present and discuss with your leadership or management team at no extra cost.

Many of our clients find themselves faced with what Professor Keith Grint describes as “wicked problems.” These are complex problems for which there is no blueprint and no ready answers. Many are discovering that leadership styles and strategies which served them well in the past will not guarantee future success in an increasingly volatile and uncertain world. This calls for resilient leadership. At the heart of resilient leadership is the ability to adapt, personally and organisationally, to adversity, setback and uncertainty.

The good news is that personal resilience is not a fixed trait. There are tried and tested methods to increase your quotient and tap into these strengths when you need to. Specialist coaching for leaders and managers will enable you to increase your resilience for the benefit of yourself, your team, your organisation and family.

Leadership Resilience Coaching will enable you to recognise and tap into your innate internal and external resources and develop resilient thinking, behaviours and strategies geared to current and anticipated challenges.

Your sessions will be with an executive coach specialising in this area and takes place over a series of six one-hour sessions which can take place virtually.

The pressure on teams to continuously change and adapt has never been greater and as the pace of change continues to accelerate something will eventually give. As a result, organisations are recognising that they need to move beyond wellbeing support by increasing resilient capabilities of their teams.

Team Sessions can be held face to face or virtually and enable the team to:

Measure the team against the key dimensions of resilience

Explore their individual and team resilience profiles

Develop a growth mindset, resilient thinking and behaviours

Agree strategies for managing stress within the team.

If you want to future-proof your team and enable them to gear up for the next level of performance you will find our Team Resilience Sessions invaluable.

Coaching
