Professional Resilience: Building Skills to Thrive at Work

Everyone knows that work can be stressful, and it's getting more intense with each passing year. Fewer people understand how to handle stress and come out a stronger and indispensable employee who still has time to care for themselves outside of the office. Resilience is the core of longevity at work. This FutureLearn course from Deakin University will teach you strategies to build resilience, and how resilience can help you maintain equilibrium in all parts of your life.
Lead instructor Marcus O'Donnell is the director of Cloud Learning Futures at Deakin University. O'Donnell has worked in education for over 30 years and his research includes digital learning, contemplative pedagogies, and student resilience.
Professional Resilience: Building Skills to Thrive at Work will teach you what it means to be resilient and help you to develop specific strategies for maintaining personal resilience at work.
