Resilience

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This brand new book takes a positive and dynamic approach to surviving whatever life throws at you, exploring the range of skills, attitudes and abilities you need to survive and thrive in difficult times, both personally and professionally. While some people are more naturally resilient than others, the book asserts that resilience is a quality that can be learnt and developed, whatever your stage in life or personal situation. Based on extensive new research, and backed-up with real-life case studies and examples of people who display resilient behaviour (including those who have turned adversity into advantage), the book shows how you too can bounce back from bad times, learning how to take back control, know when to press ahead or cut your losses, and see opportunity where others see threat. The book concludes with a 10-point plan to help you pull all the strands together, building resilience, a skill for life. Key contents include: Understanding yourself and your personal 'Resilience Quotient' Making judgements and taking decisions Assessing risk and solving problems Managing stress Being true to yourself.

She grew up on a farm in Co. Roscommon and now lives with her wife in the uplands of Co. Wicklow. www.janeclarkepoetry.ie John started his career in Psychology, teaching at Oxford University. His career as an Advisor began in the UK Cabinet Office in 1973, when he was asked to devise some means of improving the quality of Cabinet Ministers' decision-making. Later projects have tended to be less ambitious. Since founding Nicholson McBride in 1988, John has helped more than 250 organisations, in both the public and private sectors, to change the way in which they organise themselves and manage their people. The challenges John has particularly enjoyed have been around the breadth of work and the range of clients he has been involved with. This experience has encompassed large-scale corporate recovery, working with a fashion house, working with central and local government, and advising people at the top of the most successful financial institutions. John has experience of working in more than a third of the FTSE Top 100 companies. A challenge John particularly enjoys is offering advice to others who spend their life advising. Before he started his career in psychology John made a living as a musician, composing music for TV and playing at private venues. He is still known for his excellent piano playing.
