Resilience in words …
“Resilience is not what happens to you. It’s how you react to, respond to and recover from what happens to you.”
Jeffrey Gitomer“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” Nelson Mandela“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” Helen KellerSlide3
Resilience – A definition
“A dynamic process encompassing positive adaptation in the context of significant adversity”
(Luthar, Cicchetti & Becker, 2000), “Resilience can be viewed as a natural developmental wisdom that intrinsically motivates humans to meet their various needs” (Benard, 2004) Slide4
Resilience – A
definition (cont’d)
Resilience means 'bouncing back' from difficult experiences and being able to 'bounce forward' to take advantage of new opportunities. In short, resilience transforms victims into survivors and allows survivors to thrive.This is particularly important when seeking employment, as a number of setbacks can be encountered on the road to success. Resilience will keep you going through the challenges faced in searching for employment, and also give you the confidence to present your best to potential employers.Slide5
Resilience – Why is it important?
Increasing evidence that those with high resilience achieve more than those with low resilience, as they bounce back from setbacks.
Resilience reflects the ability to bounce forward - see employment or training opportunities and grasp them; Transform emotional and physical frustration into something “positive”;The good news is - a substantial body of scientific research shows that resilience can be taught and learned! Slide6
