GSE Leadership Academy: Mental Agility (For GSE & SP2 Staff Graduates)

MENTAL AGILITY: HARNESS YOUR THOUGHTS TO BUILD A MORE RESILIENT AND BETTER SELF AT WORK AND BEYOND

Our thoughts heavily influence our behavior. Having deliberate frameworks to organize them can thus help influence our behavior for the better. This session is a research-based introduction to such frameworks. The skills learned in the module are a steppingstone to sustainable behavioral change, supporting ways in which people can thrive despite adversity. The module targets two of the researched mental frameworks that help build resilience, improve mental health, and help counter stress. The hands-on module is designed to help participants practice skills in class and leave with easy-to-use tools that can be practically applied in their lives. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Adopt easy to use tools to function with clarity of thought during challenging times. 
• Develop a resilient mindset to fight adversity and invite growth. 
• Develop skills to adopt an optimistic outlook in the face of adversity.
