Developing Emotional Resilience in the Workplace

Course Summary

Confidence is key in any working environment, especially if you have responsibility for other people or projects. You need confidence and forethought to push forward, change plans where required, and identify risks and needs for contingency. Above all else, your superiors need to have faith that you know what you’re doing and trust in your processes. For this to work, you’ll need a good sense of emotional intelligence.

Emotional resilience is incredibly important for any business to maintain productivity, quality, and a clear view of the future. It’s essential that you know where you stand in the business and can utilise your knowledge and communication skills to future-proof your projects by gaining buy-in from other invested parties. However, getting people on your side isn’t always easy, and for that reason, it’s important that you hone your negotiation skills and become resilient to knockbacks and rejection.

Emotional resilience will help you to gauge risks, amend processes and lead a team towards success. You’ll be a great role model and be able to motivate your team through the challenges to ensure you always come out on top.
