The true grit of a leader is often not about how they perform in good times but rather how they display resiliency, Emotional Intelligence, and clear communication in times of prolonged periods of strife. Today’s public sector leaders are navigating more challenges and change—from the great resignation to COVID-19—and resiliency is becoming a required key leadership competency. In the course, Making Resilience a Reality, you will collaboratively discuss the impact resilience has in the public sector workplace, build self-awareness to expand your current mental models about resiliency, and explore actionable strategies under the following key pillars of resilience: purpose, self-awareness and mindfulness, thinking skills, active/constructive relationships, self-care, and bouncing back and stamina. Resilience is not a fixed skill; it is a flexible skill that can be learned, strengthened, and improved upon every day. Resiliency will provide you with healthy, productive ways to react to crisis and stress and can create greater long-term professional and personal satisfaction and happiness.
