Overview of the Talk
The events over the last year have been an incredible test. Our existence has been stripped down to the essentials. We are in a global fight to protect and manage our health. This global crisis will change the world forever, and each of us will inevitably be transformed by the experience. This event will be taught in future history classes! As with all seasons and events of challenge, how we respond is crucial. In this remote learning event, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe will present her work on resiliency that includes the five core competencies from a global perspective. She will discuss how to best navigate personally and professionally in times of uncertainty through stress performance, targeted focusing and value alignment. The information is researched informed, readily available, and is grounded in wise practices. She aims to facilitate knowledge mobilization that is relatable, accessible, sustainable and realistic. The information presented here may not be radical, but it is ultimately practical for the everyday resiliency and overall well-being.
