1. Behavioural skills.

The ability of individuals to recover from difficulties or to withstand external pressures.

Resilience is the best tool for when your environment changes, and this is a skill that can be learned.

Six ways to practise personal resilience:

  • Attitude – understand your motivational state and how to change it
  • Responses to stress – awareness enables control
  • Commitment – what are your motivations?
  • Control – understand what can and can’t be controlled in your environment
  • Relationships – maintain clear and consistent communication
  • Health – mental and physical


Four ways to practise personal resilience during COVID-19:

  • Maintain boundaries between home and work especially when working from home
  • Be transparent
  • Manage your positivity
  • Look out for verbal and non-verbal clues in your work relationships
