During the workshop Dr. Maloney will teach five specific skills that resilient people use to succeed in business and in life: maintaining perspective through adverse circumstances,remaining optimistic,feeling in control,understanding your environment,and using humor.

“As the velocity of change becomes even more rapid, employees will need to become more resilient,” said Dr. Maloney. “These are skills that can be taught to employees and practiced by employees. Organizations need to ensure that their members are taught the skills of resilience as these skills will facilitate the continued development and productivity of the organization.”
