How you deal with high pressure and challenging situations will influence outcomes – including your health and wellbeing, relationships and overall performance. It is therefore critical to have the techniques and knowledge to be able to regulate your emotions, facilitate psychological and physiological wellness, and be equipped to take responsibility to support yourself and others. Yet in stressful times these personal resources are often compromised.
Resilience Power Skills, (part of an international award-winning training programme), is broken down into three manageable and flexible sessions to take account of the COVID-19 pandemic.
