Presentation of the program
Today's volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment (known as ‘VUCA’ or ‘BANI’ Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible) underlines the importance of cultivating human skills that foster courage, perseverance, creativity and resilience. Knowing how to manage oneself is a prerequisite for managing a team conscientiously and achieving a collective ambition. Three main chapters will be covered using a pragmatic and practical method: self-knowledge, self-control and finally impact and resilience.
This short course will offer simple practices for managing day-to-day pressure, staying positive, focused, inspired and inspiring so as to enthuse a team even in difficult circumstances. The approach combines theoretical input, practical exercises and sharing. Participants will leave with a wealth of practical tools and are invited to make a concrete commitment at the end of the course. They will also have the opportunity to carry out a resilience assessment before and after the course to identify their potential improvements and existing strengths.
