Mental Toughness and Resilience
Dr Adam Fraser’s research with Deakin University has shown that one of the biggest limitations to teams transforming and evolving is their inability to handle the struggle and discomfort that comes up during any transformation or change.
During discomfort the negative stories we form in our head and the negative emotions we feel often hook us into dysfunctional behaviours. For example we put off having the challenging conversation with a staff member because we experience anxiety and predict that the conversation won’t go well. Or we avoid asking a client for feedback due to the fear we have around hearing something we won’t like.
Cutting edge psychological research shows that we have been approaching the management of negative thoughts and emotions all wrong. In this module Dr Adam Fraser will explain the SAFE model of handling struggle and discomfort. Your team will learn how to apply this model to the many contexts they find themselves in.
