Capital Region Chapter of Association of Talent Development Annual Conference
Resilience and the ability to be flexible and navigate change are important qualities for employees to possess. One needs resilience to be effective at a job, cope with stress, resolve issues with others and push through challenging situations without giving up. Happiness, or an overall sense of well-being, is positively correlated with resilience, so when one increases, the other does as well. Knowing exactly how to develop these qualities can be complicated and feel overwhelming because changing behavior is hard. During this keynote, Dr. Bashant will introduce simple steps participants can take which are based on research from the fields of positive psychology, mindfulness and neuroscience. Participants will learn ways to strengthen their own resilience and happiness by meeting these three basic human needs:
Safety – Compassion, Grit, Calm and Courage
Satisfaction – Mindfulness, Gratitude, Motivation and Aspiration
Connection – Learning, Confidence, Improved Relationships and Generosity
These strategies, insights and discussions will help employees feel confident and remain calm and centered in the face of adversity. Participants will leave feeling empowered to experience more joy, improved relationships and an improved sense of well-being at work and in life.
