Resilience Workshops

Positive Psychology, championed by eminent psychologist Martin Seligman focusses on how people thrive and flourish rather than on weaknesses or deficits. Seligman (2011) has proposed five pillars of well-being: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Achievement (the acronym PERMA) as being essential to well-being. Exercising, eating and sleeping well also play an essential role.

Identifying and working through strengths, being engaged in one’s work or study, belonging and contributing to a community, learning to appreciate one’s fortunes and qualities, taking action to nurture relationships, pushing forward to achieve one’s goals and simply having fun in life - these are all aspects of well-being that, if intentionally promoted - have been shown to lead to a greater sense of life satisfaction and well-being: happiness, if you like. My Resilience workshops encompass instruction and action-based personal challenges in PERMA -  together with standard strategies to identify and manage occupational and personal stress.
