Course description

This course will focus on Building your Emotional Resilience. Today's world is full of pressures and stresses. Most people endure stress, hardships, challenges and pressure most days, from the minute they wake up until the time they fall asleep. For some people who aspire to high performance, pressure is a source of positive motivation. However, for others, pressure is the main cause of their greatest failures.

Being able to remain optimistic and determined in spite of adversity is a characteristic of mental toughness. Furthermore, it involves training and preparing oneself to be mentally ready whenever a challenge arises. The quality of mental toughness not only allows you to cope with mistakes or sub-par performance but also provides you with the resilience to continue on regardless.

The degree of inner resilience a person possesses is determined by their self-discipline, which in turn relates to their mental toughness - and all of these factors affect their overall quality of life, especially their perspective on life, work, money, and relationships. Inner resilience is an essential trait for those individuals who aspire towards producing high-level life outcomes and achieving extraordinary goals.

People who are mentally strong tend to live purpose-orientated lives and are innately more innovative when dealing with problems. The foundation of your reputation will be shaped by how well you handle challenges and how open you are to improvement. Developing mental toughness means becoming empowered, and being empowered means accepting yourself and taking responsibility for your life.

The following are some of the topics you will learn during this course:

A Roadmap for Personal Growth and Improvement.

An explanation of how humans experience emotion.

An effective strategy for cultivating self-awareness.

Mastering the ability to maintain focus and refocus.

The role that mindset plays in personal effectiveness.

Strategies to increase wellbeing and work-life balance.
