Resilience and trust go hand in hand. Resilience is a powerful skill that can be developed and trust can be earned.
Trust is in a state of crisis, and earning trust has never been more imperative.
Trust helps to solve problems of risk, and is needed for collaboration and innovation. Embracing risk during this time can be challenging, especially when there is greater exposure to uncertainty with potential loss that truly matters. As leaders, creating vulnerability loops can aid in earning trust among those we interact with, and those we lead.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from obstacles and setbacks to achieve higher levels of performance. It requires developing positive adaptation processes to help overcome the challenges that we face, and the use of positive experiences to build confidence in our strengths and abilities. It also involves interventions that support and develop self-trust, objective reasoning, perseverance and possibility thinking.
Research shows that these capabilities can be learned, and that trust can be earned.
This session focuses on how we can develop strategies to build our resilience by examining the capabilities of psychological capital, and will examine tools and strategies to manage and lead for trust.

“What do you want to be when you grow up” is the age-old question posed to children. However, the future is uncertain and the world is ever-changing.

This presentation focuses on how we can prepare students for the future and the skills they will need to succeed. A picture book titled Who Do I Want To Become? is available as supplementary material for this talk.
