Resilience & Stress

This is a living collection of resources that support module 5 of Andrew's course, Coaching Skills, on Coaching for Resilience, where the class learns how to increase their own and their team's resilience, and prepare them for the stresses they may face. Also, see the related posts on Managing Yourself for more on emotional regulation, self-control and personal development.

Watch Andrew's short video about how stress can affect the way we behave.

Please contact me here if you would like to discuss how you may go further in this topic, watch my videos about how Executive Coaching can help you or Group Coaching can accelerate your team's effectiveness.

When we are no longer able to change a situation...we are challenged to change ourselves.
