Resilience at Work: Practical Tools for Career Success
Whether you are working in a turbulent field of work, navigating a complex job market or simply trying to achieve your career ambitions in a world that won’t stop changing, then this could be the perfect book for you.
In a world that won’t stop changing (and in fact current research suggests the pace of change could continue to increase), it can be too easy to give up on your career aspirations when things don’t go to plan.
Resigning from your current job, disappearing into despair or placing the blame with your employer instead of looking at what you could do to anticipate and respond to unexpected or unwanted stressors at work can be soul destroying.
Packed with stories, resources and personal coaching to support you, this book has grown from the authors own experience of working under extreme circumstances in post-earthquake Christchurch, New Zealand.
It has been written in collaboration with a team of academic and peer reviewers from around the world, including leading resilience experts to ensure that the final product has a strong theoretical grounding, with a very easy to apply approach.
- Learn about the importance of emotional honesty as a foundation for true resilience.
- Explore how your levels of self-care influence your ability to re-energize and stay strong.
- Consider how having the right sort of connections play a part in your ability to flourish.
- Reflect on how you have been learning (and changing) along your journey to resilience already.
The unique coaching style of this book allows readers to truly personalise the approach they choose to take; using the stories, the frameworks and the research to create their own voyage.
