Cultivating Resilience in the Face of Disruption

In an age of constant change and disruption, how might we not just survive, but thrive? One school of thought suggests that we focus on building resilience, but what exactly does that mean? In their new book, Option B, Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant define it as “the strength and speed of our response to adversity,” and they make the case that resilience is not a fixed personality trait, but a capacity that can be developed over time.

In this course, specific strategies will be given to allow the participants to cultivate resilience in themselves, their respective organizations and communities. In addition, this course will discuss the benefits of being the disruptive force that upsets the status quo.
