Business Skills Resilience with project teams classroom

This course is only available as an in-house option.

How many ways can a project start to go wrong? Thousands of ways:

  • People don’t deliver what they said they would
  • Others don’t understand the urgency or priorities
  • Resources don’t materialise
  • Things change outside of your control
  • Stakeholders are impatient and unhappy

It can be hard to remain balanced and confident in high pressure project environments, stress can affect your performance. Resilience in a project team environment means learning how not to take things personally and how to use emotional intelligence to reduce the stress and pressure that situations and other people can generate. Resilience means being able to think clearly under pressure and to make great decisions. It can also have a positive impact on your health.

About the course

This course helps you to become mentally and emotionally resilient, and helps you to manage the challenges to your resilience that others can pose when they, too, are under pressure or stress. It provides all the practical skills and approaches you need to become more resilient in your project role.
