The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted everyone’s lives in countless ways and created an unprecedented amount of change. For some people, adapting to working from home has stretched them in terms of work-life balance. Other people have had to contend with home schooling, too. For some, adjusting to being furloughed has been a big adjustment. Others have lost their jobs through redundancy.“Add to that the social implications of the pandemic with regards to isolation, social distancing and restriction of movement during lockdown, and we can see that many people are really feeling the impact of these changes.“Given all these changes and the fact so many of them are completely beyond our control, it is easy to allow our emotions to get the better of us, or to get overwhelmed by the degree of change.“All change requires energy and lots of it"With most change comes the requirement to learn a new way of doing things. This exposes individuals, teams and organisations to the unknown. The unknown can be frightening, sometimes exciting – frequently both.”Research from McKinsey and Company shows that 70% of all organisational change initiatives fail. That’s an astonishing statistic and indicates traditional approaches to managing change are serving us poorly.“One of the issues I frequently see comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of what resilience actually is”, he says.“Many people define resilience as a kind of toughening-up process. Putting on armour so you can battle through. A state where you remain rigid and fundamentally unwilling to change, where you push through adversity and then bounce back to what you were before.“Resilience is actually all about flexibility – it’s the complete opposite of rigidity. When we’re resilient we are free to move around, to stretch and take the strain. We have access to our resourcefulness and creativity, and invest our energy wisely in the right activities to get the best results. We accept change and work with it, not against it. We are agile and adapt to new circumstances and challenges, keeping perspective.“The good news is that we are all naturally resilient and by investing some time and reflection into recognising this and growing our capacity in this area serves us, and those around us, extremely well.”Paul spoke at The Festival of Global People in 2019 and delivered the webinar ‘Knowing the Score’ for us in August 2020 - <a href="https://www.relocatemagazine.com/events-knowing-the-score-using-creativity-and-music-to-unlock-opportunity-and-build-resilience" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">watch the Knowing the Score webinar replay</a>.

Workshop Fee£50.00 + VAT <h3>Who should attend?</h3>Resilience is a subject that everyone would benefit from giving more attention to. No matter what you do, where you live, or what job you do; your ability to succeed will, at some stage, depend on how resilient you are.Leaders carry the burden of accountability and responsibility, which can weigh heavily. Making sound decisions, maintaining access to rational thought during pressured times, and being agile and flexible during times of change is essential in order to get positive results, maintain relationships and protect your reputation, none of which can be achieved without resilience. Similarly, managers and team leaders will benefit from learning concepts and principles designed to build and maintain resilience in order to perform at their best and contribute to a positive working culture that supports high performing teams, retains talent and achieves results. HR professionals will have access to tools that will enable them to positively impact levels of resilience within their organisation and partner with their business to support positive change.<h3>What can people expect from the workshop?</h3>Participants will get the opportunity to connect with the true meaning of resilience and engage in some reflection about themselves, identify key aspects of their character and personality that will help them tap into their natural resilience. Using the findings of recent research, we’ll also explore 5 key areas that contribute to psychological resilience. Each session is packed full of ideas and techniques you can implement to lift scores in all 5 areas and build a personal resilience model that works for you. Expanding on my <a href="https://www.relocatemagazine.com/events-knowing-the-score-using-creativity-and-music-to-unlock-opportunity-and-build-resilience" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">webinar ‘Knowing the Score’</a> we’ll also be looking at techniques and interventions that harness our inherent creativity and unlock potential in this area. We’ll look at the importance of managing your thoughts and emotions, and ways in which we can restore access to the more rational side of our brains when under pressure to avoid stress, fatigue and burn-out.
