Organizational Resilience Coaching

This course is designed for coaches who want to develop the expertise needed to provide resilience coaching to organizational clients. Resilience coaching with organizational clients is experiencing exponential growth. This course can help you open new doors, access new opportunities for ongoing work, and secure organizational clients and contracts.

Organizations, whether large or small businesses, NGO’s, governments and public service, are increasingly concerned about the growing cost of mental illness, absenteeism, stress and burnout. They want to learn what makes leaders, managers, employees and teams more productive, motivated, resourceful, with what it takes to keep going in the face of multiple, complex change and challenges. There is a growing need for a big picture approach that includes resilient leadership, building a human-based work culture and a bottom-up and top-down approach to individual resilience, self-responsibility and self-management.

Human resilience is about learning to envision and to discern what matters most; it’s about refueling the reserves that maintain you; and it’s about learning the life skills that propel you forward. In organizations, resilience is key to productivity motivation, sustained growth – and a healthy bottom line. Human resilience is about moving forward, to keep going and going, with a set of skills that are learned and mastered through practice. It’s not about bouncing back to where you were, or to undoing what’s done. Human resilience is a skillset, and you can learn and use it effectively, in coaching and in building your life – and your business.

This course provides concrete, motivating practical knowledge for coaches who want to build their expertise in an area offering exciting growth opportunities. The course focuses on skill development and tools in three coaching areas: individual resilience within organizations, team resilience and resilient leadership, including both individual and group coaching.
