Practise resilience

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
