A bit about me
A bit of context:
My journey – kind of reflects what we do as career professionals
Help people create maps of where they want to go
Give them tools to get there more efficiently and over come obstacles
More resilience would have been useful - hindsight is a wonderful eh!
CDI
ICCI – governor / global council (Claire Johnson). International network and conversations. Resilience is an international issue

How Are You Listening
Talk about filters. All use them
All have stuff going on (calls to make, things to remember, etc)
Invitation to put that outside the door for 50 minutes (you can collect it on the way out)
Listen with “how can I use this myself and with my clients”

7. What does resilience do for you and your clients?
Less stress
Less days lost
Health benefits
Better productivity
Better results for the individual and organisation
Here’s a few thoughts to get us going
Who teaches this stuff in their setting? – what benefits do you notice / perceive (Flip Chart)
When is it appropriate? (mention J2S) – Ask what settings people are from (Ed, biz, etc)
What are your favourite techniques?
What are your favourite strategies to increase resilience?

8. Three things to improve resilience
Mindsets and attitudes
Mindfulness / meditation
Asking good questions
Talk about each in turn and give examples
Create new slides, 1 for each

9. Mindsets and Attitudes
I am in charge of my mind and therefore my choice of action and re-action in any situation What you focus on consistently you tend to create
Focus on this one:
What do the audience think?
Points –
- emotions chemically wash through us in seconds.
There to tell us something, but after that time, it’s a choice
Recognising that you have a choice can be transformational:
Communication model:
Filters produce our IR.
UCM makes us consciously aware of things we need to be aware of
IR can be seen in our physiology which “tells” our mood and affects our results.
... Ref and possible do an exercise on the Amy Cuddy stuff.
We can increase resilience by practices that focus us on the good things we already have
....gratitude for example.
....noticing and changing our self-talk ...leads to next slide

Talk about the energy of emotions (Dr David Hawkins – Power vs Force
