In times of change, it is not uncommon to feel anxiety, uncertainty, self-doubt and perhaps even fear. At our last meeting, delegates expressed the challenges they were facing in the immediate response to the Covid-19 pandemic and how this was impacting them both professionally and personally. On core concept that can assist individuals and organisations at such times is the concept of resilience. 

Defined in dictionary.com as ‘the ability of a person to adjust to or recover readily from illness, adversity, major life changes, etc.’, resilience is a useful concept at the individual level and when embraced as an organisational mind-set can dramatically change organisational experiences and attitude.

Join us and your FEHDD colleagues as we explore the concept of Resilience from a theoretical, psychology and practical perspective so as to gain insight and understanding on how this behaviour can alter and impact our experiences for the better.

The session will start with a panel discussion recounting theoretical, academic and practical perspectives on resilience and will continue with a breakout discussion on how this might be applied within our academic and educational settings.
