Resilience 101: Your Life Owner’s Manual

Resilience is what you need to keep showing up at your best, physically, mentally and spiritually. Simply: resilience is your life owner’s manual.

When you buy a car, it comes with a manual that provides instructions, cautions and troubleshooting. The car will need more than gas to run and remain in good order. How about you? Are you running on fumes and or on a full tank? Do you maintain yourself regularly? How do you care for yourself, and keep yourself going? Do you reward yourself with self-care, or do you fuel yourself so you can keep going?

This is what resilience is about: to keep yourself fueled, maintained, in great mental and physical condition, so you can keep moving ahead into your life and your future. This hands-on course will explore how you can make better choices, to support the quality of life and resilience you deserve to have. You will learn what makes you resilient, with instructions, cautions and troubleshooting. You will build self-awareness and vision, grow life skills (not coping skills!), refuel vital energy and prioritize what matters to live a productive, motivated, energized, resilient life.

We’ll be addressing resilience in four dimensions:

To reassess attitudes, beliefs, expectations and possibilities

To reduce stress and its impacts on mental and physical health

To recharge the five types of life energy supporting your life

To reframe possibilities and choices based on your desired outcomes.

We’ll address myths and replace them with facts. And instead of wondering what would make a difference, you’ll end the course with clarity and user-friendly, small-step strategies you can apply and maintain in your busy, full life.

By the end of this course, you will have acquired knowledge, skills and strategies to build a resilience approach to your life, work and business. This course is designed for new and experienced coaches, to build (and maintain) a resilient, productive, inspired and healthy life and career.
