Success in high pressure situations hinges not just on your skills and knowledge, but also on your ability to recover and remain energized: in other words, to be resilient. Rooted in our work with elite performers in sport and business, our programs help people learn and practice a practical tool-kit for resilience.
Our resilience tool-kit has been refined over 30 years of work in the intense R&D lab of elite sport. With over 100 medals won, the proof is on the podium.
Resilience can feel 'fuzzy' - our tool-kit is not. Immensely practical, it breaks resilience down into a learnable set of skills that can be mastered.
Whether in-person or by video, we bring an unparalleled faculty of experts, Olympians, chefs, performers and business leaders into the learning experience.
Building Resilience was a huge success at our leadership summit. The combination of a practical resilience toolkit, a robust self-assessment, and a great mix of teaching and discussion created an atmosphere for everyone to reflect on their resilience challenges and opportunities, leaving with the skills needed to manage the pressure they face. It is a fantastic program.
