Creative Resilience

Discovering Opportunity in Uncertainty & Change

Audience: Those who are losing their jobs or who may be losing their jobs. Those who are most impacted by job losses. HR and OD professionals. (Those who are keeping their jobs while colleagues are being let go often suffer from “Survivor’s Guilt.” Layoffs affect the morale, and sometimes the productivity, of friends and associates who continue in the organization. This program is particularly beneficial for people who continue in their jobs but are most affected by the losses around them.)
Format: 3 hour to one-day seminar.
Goals: Teach skills of creative resilience to make the most of a challenging situation, to promote good will and and a healthy organizational culture.

A few months ago one of my long term clients announced more than 8,000 layoffs. The division that I’m most involved with discovered that they were losing more than 100 people. And many more are living with uncertainty about their future. Unlike many organizations who reflexively cancel all their leadership development efforts in difficult times, this client understands that these efforts are even more important in a downturn.

During a recent week of intensive training devoted to supporting key leaders in promoting innovation, we included a special program for the people who were losing their jobs and for those who were uncertain about their future.

The intention was to help the participants take a positive, proactive approach to the challenging circumstances that had been thrust upon them. The result? As the V.P. who coordinated the program commented: “At first everyone was pretty skeptical, but they left feeling inspired, renewed and empowered.”

Program topics include:

* How to Develop a Creative Approach to Change
* Strengthening Resilience: How to Cultivate an Optimistic Mindset
* Clarifying Personal Purpose and Values
* Creative Thinking Tools for Crafting a New Vision
* How to Set and Manifest Goals Using the Strategies of Genius
* Practical Goal-setting Exercise
* Practical Exercises for Transforming Stress
* Team Approach to Goal Review and Refinement

This seminar helps all participants become more resilient and resourceful in the face of challenging circumstances.
