LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - RESILIENCE

Resilience can be learned and build over time. The more we cultivate it, the further we move away from burnout.

This workshop is grounded in solid, up-to-date neuroscientific research and is designed to help you gain greater control over your mental states.

It unfolds across three focused sessions:

  1. Power Up - Using the body to build resilience
  2. Preparing for the Future - Managing stress and increasing efficiency at work
  3. Let it Go - Disengaging from harmful thoughts

Stefania de Vito is a psychologist and science communicator with a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and an AFHEA qualification in teaching and learning support.
