A Leader's Guide to Personal Resilience:

Building Your Capacity to Contribute in Challenging Times


We live in extraordinary times. New dynamics, accelerating exponentially in complexity and consequence, are challenging the basic structures that shaped our lives. We need leaders who can make bold commitments, stay centered and calm in the midst of intensity, and lead the way toward a more sustainable, harmonious, and just world.

Testimonial

The Leadership Resilience course offered by Bev and Doug is spectacular. I benefited immensely and immediately from this fresh perspective on resilience. The practical methods, vivid examples, frequent interaction and powerful learning models used in the course exposed me to an entirely new way of thinking about, understanding and strengthening my resilience as a leader. I now consciously manage my perspective as the world constantly throws changes, problems and surprises in my direction.  And, the theory and practices I was exposed to in this course have helped me to stay centered in mind, body and purpose as I engage with the ever-accelerating pace of the world of work.  I heartily recommend this course.

Testimonial

This course takes learning to a new plateau for government leaders, and is a fascinating journey into self-awareness. Doug and Bev pushed us to recognize why we think and react as we do to change, conflict, and the ever increasing demands and stress in our daily jobs. I have learned to use the resilience tools to maintain optimism in the midst of adversity, and to better access energy reserves and resilience I didn't know I possessed.
