Frequently asked questions

What is resiliency training?
Often, workplaces are challenging environments. While we may not be able to make everyday smooth sailing, what if our teams were better equipped to weather the day-to-day storms? Resilience training does just that by translating the science of stress management and wellbeing by providing the skills and tools to cultivate meaning and joy personally and professionally.

What makes this program right for my organization?
Chances are, you’ve come across numerous training programs geared toward increasing workplace wellness, but do they have significant measurable results? As a GRIT Institute SMART (Stress Management and Resiliency Training) certified trainer, I create a customized training program guided by the SMART curricula that address the specific needs of your team and organization. Not only does this program have evidence of improving resiliency, quality of life, and health behaviors after completion, your employees are able to use the tools learned from day one.

How will resiliency training help my team?
Losing employees, or worse yet, having highly-skilled but disengaged employees is a costly business. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that workplace stress, anxiety, and depression cost the global workforce an estimated $1 trillion in lost productivity each year. The SMART training program addresses the root causes of the costly dilemmas plaguing workplaces today: absenteeism, presenteeism, decreased employee productivity, engagement, and retention. Implementing this program improves resiliency, quality of life, and health behaviors, and reduced anxiety and stress among professionals. The SMART program equips employees with the tools they need to increase engagement, productivity, and overall joy in their work from the outset. Our studies show participants have increased mindfulness, and resiliency, decreased stress, and improved healthy behaviors—a value-add to your employees’ lives and your organization’s mission.
-
Are your trainings tailored to my specific organization? How long is the training? Do you offer virtual trainings?
I work with you directly to identify and understand the unique needs and challenges your workplace is up against. With your organizational goals at the forefront of our partnership, the training program can be customized in time, scope and structure to suit your team and ensure the greatest takeaways. Because of the custom nature of the program, trainings vary in size, timing, and number of participants.
