The program is divided into three phases:
Phase 1: Self-Paced Resilience Assignments (Pre-Program)
Participants are welcomed into the program with an engaging physical welcome package that includes a welcome letter, all of the resources they need to complete their self-paced assignments, a timeline to help them pace their work, and a sheet of stickers with resilience quotes, reminders of key content, and check-marks to put on their timeline to mark their progress.
Over the course of the 3-4 weeks prior to the workshop, participants are asked to watch an introductory module and then complete three self-paced resilience assignments. These 4 modules (the introduction plus three assignments) are accessed and navigated via an online interface. The total time investment is approximately 4 hours.
Phase 2: 1-Day Building Resilience Workshop (In-Class)
- Personal Context: Share and reflect on the sources of pressure that makes resilience relevant to you.
- Resiliency Map® Debrief Review your pre-program assessment through a comprehensive and engaging debrief. Set your sights on an area of action going forward.
- The Role of the Self: Discover the role that awareness and mindfulness play in enhancing resilience.
- Focus & Purpose: Create a vision rooted in purpose to help guide your day-to-day decisions.
- Perspective: Practice the skill of reframing – a proven method of broadening your perspective and strengthening resilience.
- Energy Management: Learn to control your energy levels the same way you would a thermostat. Conduct an Efficiency Audit exercise to help identify where you needlessly burn energy.
- Imagery: The images that constantly run in our mind’s eye have a dramatic impact on our ability to withstand pressure, recover from setbacks, and stay engaged.
- Create an Action Plan: Craft your individual 90-day strategy to put Resilience skills into practice.
Phase 3: Follow-Up Resources for Application (Post-Program)
Leave the program with your personal Action Plan and two take home resources to support their application:
- Peter Jensen’s book: The Inside Edge
- A 2-hour audio program: short, 'podcast-style' refreshers of key content and a set of exercises for practical application
Within a week of completing the workshop, you will receive a link to a learning application web page, containing activities and additional resources to help apply what you’ve learned in their day-to-day activities. Some include conversations with colleagues, extending the impact of your learning.
You will also receive email prompts (at 30, 60 and 90 days post-workshop) with content refreshers and inquiries about progress against their Action Plan.
