Webinar #01: Scientific Survival Strategies

Wednesday 8^th April 2020 This webinar is now recorded and is available for purchase. Duration: 46 minutes The science of psychology provides us with a number of scientific strategies to help us survive and thrive. In the past, these skills were not taught or learnt until a serious event or challenge occurs, and we then seek professional psychological assistance to cope.  Some people are fortunate enough to have learned these performance psychology skills for sports or leadership, for example. This webinar will:

• Provide an overview of 6 key psychological survival skills.
• Focus in on 3 key skills you can apply right now to reduce stress and anxiety.

Wednesday 13th May 2020 This webinar is now recorded and is available for purchase. Duration: 41 minutes Your strengths are a resource you can leverage to build your resilience and perform at your best in times of change. We each have a unique combination of strengths, yet few can identify them or know how to use them effectively. When people discover their unique strengths and learn how to apply them, they are more engaged and productive at work, and are happier and healthier. Gallup’s research shows that your greatest chance of success comes from focusing on your strengths to optimise your performance and wellbeing. This webinar will:

• Introduce you to Gallup’s strengths-based approach to performance development with evidence on the links to engagement, productivity and wellbeing.
• Describe Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment and its application to coaching, leadership, personal and team development.
