Psychological Resilience Coaching
Who we have worked with
What is resilience?
According to the BSI, organisational resilience is “the ability of an organisation to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruptions in order to survive and prosper”.
Whilst the need to build organisational resilience is widely accepted, few organisations truly align their daily operations with the culture and behaviours needed to bring about change. Choosing instead to take a more defensive, ad-hoc, process-based approach to resilience.
For the organisations that truly embrace resilience, it is embedded in the very fabric, culture and behaviours of its leaders, teams and individuals; liberating organisational performance and results as a consequence.
How it works
Our psychological resilience coaching will help you develop the tools you need to keep performing at the highest level, no matter what is going on around you. Learn how to manage challenges and setbacks and use them as an opportunity to gain experience and develop, while exploring and choosing the most practical techniques for your personal circumstances.
After becoming a resilient leader, you will gain a more positive outlook, have stronger relationships and support mechanisms, and be less likely to engage in dysfunctional behaviour, and to engage in the harming of others.
For individuals, resilience is a mindset
To lead others, a leader must first learn to lead themselves and be physically, mentally and emotionally resilient, in order to inspire others with empathy. Resilient leaders shift the mindset of their teams from ‘today’ to ‘tomorrow’, to build high energy resilient teams.
Psychological resilience coaching will teach you how to:
- Identify the problem. A key role of any leader is to help people understand the challenges facing the organisation, so that appropriate responses can be devised. Strong leaders ask searching questions and connect peoples’ interest into solving the problems identified. Rather than the top down approach of agreeing goals, building commitment and providing answers. More organisations fail because they solve the wrong problem!
- Empower people to act, rather than simply clarifying roles and responsibilities. Strong appraisal systems that focus on outcomes.
- Let people experience threat, within a productive range of distress. A collective ‘we can solve this’ doesn’t empower or encourage ownership. Good leaders recognise that stress is not, of itself, inherently harmful. It can energise us to act. Moments of stress can galvanise individuals and teams at a critical point, bringing a sense of urgency when projects are at stake. Returning to a positive state as the ‘norm’. Good leaders recognise this balance and ensure individuals don’t reach their breaking points.
- Challenge norms to encourage ways in which the organisation could be very different. As opposed to trying to fit solutions around current ways of working.
- Embrace diversity. Embracing different opinions and scepticism, as opposed to seeking consensus and reducing conflict.
- Focus on doing better things rather than ‘making what we do better’.
