Building Resilience

Hello

Welcome to the 'Building Resilience' training course.

I'm Jo Banks, I'm an Executive Coach, Author and Leadership Development Trainer, and I've helped thousands of people create happier, healthier, more productive lives, through my innovative coaching and training techniques.

This course is designed based on my coaching and training (as well as my bestselling book, 'Thoughts Become Things') providing you with step by step instructions and guidance explicitly designed to help manage your thinking and emotions.

In these ever-changing times, resilience is a crucial skill which we all need. Unfortunately, it isn't necessarily something that we are born with. For those of us who grew up in families where negative emotions such stress and anxiety were commonplace, we may not necessarily have learnt functional coping mechanisms to deal with the constant change that continues to happen all around us.

The good news is, no matter whether you were taught resilience skills or not, you can learn and enhance them relatively easily.

If you’re looking to increase your resilience, manage your emotions, and deal with anxiety and the stresses of everyday life more effectively, this is the course for you.

At the end of this course, you will be aware of your current levels of resilience and how you can increase it. You will learn essential skills to enable you to manage existing and potential stressors efficiently. I’ve also included practical tools designed to allow for better planning and execution of tasks both in your home and at work.
