Leadership Delaware County

LEADERSHIP DELAWARE COUNTY

VIRTUAL PROGRAM Developing Resilient Leaders
Unprecedented times are bringing us unprecedented stress. Many of us are “hitting the wall” and wondering how to cope with the challenges around us. In this 6-week session, we’ll explore how our bodies and minds respond to stress and how this impacts our behaviors and emotions. We’ll identify our own personal challenges and then practice with multiple techniques to address our stressors. We’ll also explore how we can use these same techniques in the workplace. This will be a hands-on program with the opportunity to make a real difference in our lives as we practice with various strategies, working in “real-time” to deal more effectively with our stress. We will go beyond “self-care,” and look more deeply at ongoing practices we can incorporate to move out of our “stressed selves” and into our “best selves,” even when times are challenging.
