Resilience One Day Workshop with Chris Johnstone
SUNDAY 15 JULY 2012, 10.00 - 17.00
Resilience is the ability to withstand or recover from difficult situations. It includes our capacity to make the best of things, cope with stress and rise to the occasion. This one-day workshop offers a practical training in skills, strategies and insights that help our resilience grow. What to expect: Drawing on research from Positive Psychology and the plot structure of adventure stories, we will look at four key skills that raise our resilience: • visioning skills that strengthen our sense of purpose by helping us see, and then head for, the outcomes that attract us • creative problem-solving skills that help us find a path through the obstacles in the way • positive relationship skills that enhance our ability to find allies and draw in the support we need • emotional intelligence skills that raise our capacity to work with our emotions, so that we can benefit from the guiding signals and energy they offer. The day will involve a mix of tutor presentation, personal reflection, guided exercises and group discussion. The goal is to increase each participant’s ability to draw upon the resilience they need in their lives. Chris Johnstone is an author, trainer and coach for resilience, happiness and positive change. He has a background in medicine, worked for many years as an addictions specialist and has more than two decades of experience in running resilience workshops. He is author of Find Your Power – a toolkit for resilience and positive change (2nd ed, Permanent Publications, 2010) and co-presenter of The Happiness Training Plan CD. In 2010, he was included in the Independent on Sunday’s Happy List, which identifies people making significant contributions to wellbeing in the UK.
