Resilience – Learn how to bounce back from setbacks

As entrepreneurs we must be able to deal with different situations, positive and negative ones. We have to learn how to be comfortable with the uncomfortable on our way to reaching goals. Athletes are known for their resilience. So, what can we learn from them?  Besides regular resilience training, like strength and conditioning, athletes learn from sport psychologists how to cope with their thoughts and feelings accompanying difficult situations. We tend to avoid and ignore them but pushing negative thoughts and feelings away may cause short- term relief; however, in the long term they come back at them unexpectedly and with higher intensity, like a boomerang.

In this workshop different methods to improve your psychological flexibility will be presented and ways how to implement these strategies into your daily life.
