Resilience: Actionable Strategies to Bounce Back
Morning Breakout Session II 11:15-12:15
As humans we all face setbacks in our lives and the need to move forward after one occurs. “Bouncing back” after a difficult situation can be a challenge if we are unaware of ways to process the situation, our emotions, and our sense of belonging moving forward. We find ourselves in a new state of being and understanding based on these experiences. Being resilient is an incredibly important skill to possess and one that takes intentional action to improve. We are expected to be resilient, yet it is rare that time is spent breaking down what it means and how to successfully navigate through the stages of the process.
This session will guide participants through the concept of resilience and provide actionable strategies around building our resilience. Participants will learn about understanding our resilient voice (how we talk to ourselves matters!), identifying our levels of influence and control through guided activity, and how connecting with others during these situations helps us move through them more effectively.
