What does resilience for Researchers mean now?

Research is challenging, not just in itself but in its impact on our wellbeing as researchers. There are techniques that we can apply to help us recognise our stress and to maintain our wellbeing.

Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties and is a very important part of maintaining wellbeing and continuing to be productive.

Some people are equipped with a natural sense of how to maintain resilience but for others those same skills can be learned. This experiential workshop will give you the opportunity to learn about stress and its effects as well as a range of techniques for maintaining your personal resilience, including where to find help when it is needed.

By the end of the workshop, you should be able to:

· Apply Stoic exercise to build resilience

· Understand the importance of taking a break to get different angle on the problem

· Understand how to reframe your problems

· Develop learning goals as a help towards resilience

· Understand the importance of self-reflection for development of resilience
