Building Resilience at Work
Updated: Dec 15, 2020
Times Have Changed – What Worked in the Past is No Longer Enough

The “New Normal” is far from normal. As leaders and workers we are dealing with many new and uncharted challenges to keep ourselves and our teams motivated and inspired, feeling supported and heard, and being productive.
At BBG we are applying our resilience-building efforts in full force as we shift from a "high contact" organization doing workshops and offering hands on help for parents, educators, and organizations - to working from home and behind a screen.
I recently heard a term: We live in a VUCA world.
Volatile
Uncertain
Conflicted
Ambiguous
In addition to the existing VUCA world is baggage most of us carry from childhood, ongoing anxiety, emotional triggers, and the responsibilities we are carrying on our shoulders (sometimes all by ourselves). NOW is the time to ask for help.
We believe 2020 did one thing good. It showed us we must pay attention to our feeling-selves. All of us are affected including our children, co-workers, and neighbors. We know that our minds are affected by stress. We know our bodies are impacted. We know we cannot push it away and tell ourselves to "bear it" and everything will be OK.
We ignore the neurologic research on the effects of trauma and chronic stress at our peril.

It's suddenly old-fashioned and unproductive to ignore the Mind-Body and Stress connection and it's impacts on our work lives.
If you need help, BBG has teamed up with corporate coaching team Opportu to bring executive and team building resilience training to your organization.
