The Resilience Coaching Toolkit

Psychological resilience could be defined as an individual's ability to successfully adapt to life tasks in the face of adverse conditions. Resilient people don't dwell on failures - they acknolwedge the situation, learn from their mistakes and move on. Resilience doesnt mean being tough - one can be resilient and still show emotion.This flexible training pack is designed to be used in one-to-one sessions as well as for group work. It teaches the Resilience Coaching Model, a non-directive approach whereby the facilitator encourages the learner(s) in the proactive self-management of resilience. Using this proactive approach, learners will be able to:- make a concious decision to shape a resilient lifestyle- assume repsonsibility for the quality of their life- adopt a series of key principles in varied life areas which could lead to high levels of resilience- understand that resilience is the integration of mind, body and spirit- make changes to enhance their resilience- understand what motivates them to lead the lifestyle they've chosen- learn the difference between what they can change and what they cannot, and focus their energies wisely- develop a resilient lifestyle which will allow them to revitalize and re-energise themselves so that they can continue to thrive in the face of the demands of life- prepare to cope with change- learn how to control their thoughts and emotions- be aware of and be in tune with the flow between external productivity and rest periods- create a sense of connections and meaning in life.
