The challenge

A small technology team were busy building innovative online solutions under enormous delivery objectives, long hours and disruptive launches. All these pressures proved challenging for this small team who were struggling to keep up as the business grew rapidly. The CEO wanted to support the team by providing them with resilience training to ensure that they were well prepared as the business grows. This is their resilience story...

The engagement

A team of 13 enrolled in an online delivery of our Practical Resilience Program. The structured modules were delivered through our online learning platform. This included our 60 factor Resilience Diagnostic at the start of the program and three months later. We held a live virtual session with the participants and we worked through four modules:

• Bounce: understanding resilience, how it fails and how to bounce back fast
• Physical Vitality: using prevention, exercise, sleep and nutrition to perform
• Performance Mindset: emotional literacy, impulse control, and attention
• Reframing, Flow and Integration of practice into life and work

This technology team experienced a 22% improvement in overall resilience when their progress was measured twelve weeks later. The Resilience Ratio improved from 1.4 Assets to each liability to 1.71. Specific factor change highlights:

• 30% increase in daily practice commitment
