1 Resilience: Strengthening Skills that Help You and the People You Work with to Stay Grounded, Compassionate, Refreshed and Positively Engaged Facilitated by Beth Weinstock 2017

2 When you think of resilience, what words come to mind? When you think of people you consider resilient, what adjectives come to mine?

3 1) What gets in the way of resilience? 2) What builds it? 3) How do we as leaders stay balanced and supportive to others when stress and anxiety challenge resilience? 4) How do we keep our hearts open and available for this hard work and the challenge of sustaining resilience?

8 Internal Voices that Undermine Resilience No point in trying I ll never get the job They won t pick me I can t possibly learn that material I m such an idiot I never do it right I m just not smart-enough I m way too slow They didn t mean to say it If they only knew. I m too sensitive I m making a mountain of a mole hill What if I can t do it? What if they think I m better than I am? Maybe this is the wrong decision Maybe they won t include me Maybe I shouldn t have said what I said Thoughts Create Emotions that lead to behavioral outcomes Copyright 2016 Jane Shure, PhD, & Beth Weinstock PhD, All Rights Reserved

19 Working with undermining voices to strengthen your Inner coach Identify: 1. Situation No response to my idea, just silence 2. Thought - My idea must sound fool; that s why no one said anything. 3. Feeling - shame, embarrassment, anger 4. Story- I am never clear and never get understood this group will not value me 5. Possible Destructive Action- I will drop out 6. Constructive Inner-Coaching Message That s a story! You don t know why they didn t respond check out what people are thinking See if you can say your idea more clearly if that is the problem.. Even if people don t like the idea it doesn t mean it is foolish Copyright 2016 Jane Shure, PhD, & Beth Weinstock PhD, All Rights Reserved
