Building the capacity to work well through pressure, change, and uncertainty

Workplace stress isn’t just about workload — it’s also about how people relate to pressure, uncertainty, and challenge over time. When stress is ongoing, even capable, committed employees can feel overwhelmed, disengaged, or burnt out.

This resilience course supports employees to develop the skills needed to stay grounded, flexible, and effective, even when work is demanding or unpredictable.

What Participants Will Achieve / Key Benefits

By the end of the course, participants are better able to:

• Respond more flexibly to stress, pressure, and change

• Navigate difficult thoughts and emotions without becoming stuck or reactive

• Stay focused and present during challenging situations

• Make values-led decisions, even when things feel uncomfortable

• Build the skills to act intentionally and stay aligned with values, even when circumstances are uncertain or difficult

• Relate to themselves with greater self-compassion, supporting reduced burnout risk

The course develops skills that support greater psychological resilience, healthier responses to stress, and more sustainable performance at work.

What Participants Will Learn

Participants will learn to:

• Recognise unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour

• Work more effectively with stress, pressure, and difficult emotions

• Develop present-moment awareness and emotional regulation skills

Course Materials & Resources

Accompanying Course Workbook includes:

• Exercises, reflections, and tools for application to help participants engage with the course content

• Handouts and links to audio practices for ongoing use

• Structured tools for identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, which participants will use to apply course concepts to their real-world challenges

How the Course Works

The course is grounded in evidence-informed resilience skills, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) and self-compassion.

Participants will engage in:

• Practical exercises and real-world workplace examples

• Short mindfulness and awareness practices

• Reflection and skills application

• Tools that support everyday use at work

The focus is on building flexibility and choice — not eliminating stress, but strengthening people’s ability to work well in its presence.

• Are supporting teams through ongoing pressure or change

• Are focused on long-term wellbeing and sustainable performance
