SUMMARY:Emotional Resilience: What Is It And How To Develop It
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has been generously sponsored by Feedback Market Research \n \nIn this webinar\, Keith Mayers\, a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and Organizational Psychologist\, registered with British Psychological Society\, will take us through how we can build our emotional resilience; something which is particularly relevant to micro-business owners\, particularly in today’s economic climate. \nIt has been shown that professionals who work independently may be susceptible to a variety of wellbeing related issues. These can include social isolation\, stress\, anxiety\, life balance\, security\, and self-esteem.  It’s these areas which Keith can help navigate and formulate coping abilities. \nWhat the webinar will cover \n\nWhat it really means to be an Independent Consultant\nSome psychological principles\nApplying these principles to foster resiliency and wellbeing\n1-2 realistic new steps to implement the above\nHow to increase your self-awareness.\n\nAbout Keith \n \nKeith’s journey with this started 11 years ago when he almost lost my life to a very rare auto immune condition\, which put him on the verge of multiple organ failure. After a very long recovery and re-educating himself to become a psychologist\, he made it his purpose to use his education and personal experience to help others with their wellbeing and resiliency. \nKeith is guided by the core belief that even if we lose what we once had physically\, we can still grow intellectually\, mentally\, and emotionally. A challenging life is not necessarily a catastrophic one. We may not live as fully as once did\, but our lives can still have value\, meaning and purpose. We might just have to be more creative in how we find it. \nHe has vast experience in coaching one to one\, group coaching\, workshops\, and presentations-including the Clinical Education Programmes for the NHS. \n \nRegister for this webinar here \nFurther links \nwww.illnesscoach.com \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@IllnessCoach/videos \nkmayers73@aol.com
