Overview and learning outcomes

As a busy person you understand the demands of the real world.  The increasing demands placed on us personally and professionally affect our health and our business.  What makes some people focus and perform better under pressure while others struggle?   The answer is Resilience.   Resilience is a measure of your subconscious flexibility and what practical and psychological coping mechanisms you have access to.  This session comes with a big promise from Richard Burke – You will never forget this workshop.  That’s a big promise.

Aviation Skillnet is delighted to present to our network, an award-winning mental health session aimed at teaching people how to work hard but go home happy.

The aim of the training is to enable you to understand stress and how you personally react to it.  The primary aim of the course is to put you in control of your stress response.  To be able to control your personal reaction you must first be mindful of it and then be able to “feel” that you can control it.  The session will address:

• Getting external demands and dysfunction into perspective
• How your mind works
• The big 5 personality types
• Fear and Danger / fear and courage in a work and life context.
