“The Programme has been a real eye opener for me. No one has integrated the most recent findings about resilience so masterfully as the Resilience Dynamic has done. The result is a holistic approach based on solid research. The Resilience Dynamic offers plenty of tools that resonate with clients. The programme has challenged me to take my own resilience seriously. I recommend the programme to coaches who wish to support their clients to have a more balanced and productive life.”
“Resilience is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world. I really appreciate how the content is based on years of academic research, as that gives it more credibility. I also feel that the materials – particularly the Resilience River© video and Resilience Dynamic® model – make it easier to transition into using the learnings in a setting with a client or group of clients. For Executive Coaches with an interest in adding some form of resilience/preventing burnout string to their bow I think this is an excellent course.”
“This course was one of the best courses I have done. It allowed me not only to explore and learn about resilience in my own coaching practice and how I could use this knowledge with my coachees, but also how my resilience is as a coach. To be self-aware, stay curious and be present.”
