Building Resilience at Work
How do people deal with difficult events that change their lives? The death of a loved one, loss of a job, ending a relationship, serious illness, terrorist attacks, not making a team, not performing as well as you are capable of at work …and more. These are some examples of challenging life experiences, each with varying degrees of intensity and trauma. Most people genuinely react to such circumstances with a flurry of strong emotions, a sense of uncertainty, and varying degrees of intensity. Dr. Flowers offers his learning and experiences to support your growth in developing resilience at work.
What is Underneath the Podium?
Let's talk about the unspoken, unknown and sometimes unseen details of what happens behind the scenes and underneath the podiums of success. "The devils in the details", "the proof is in the pudding".. well "what's underneath the podium defines the success on top of the podium." Dr. Flowers will talk with you about some of the unexplained details that support podium performances, and how such details can be applied to your own podium performances.
